EIA/TIA-449 Connections
The router (VIP) end of all EIA/TIA-449 adapter cables is a high-density 60-pin plug. The opposite (network) end of the adapter cable provides a standard 37-pin D-shell connector, which is commonly used for EIA/TIA-449 connections. Figure 1-5shows the connectors at the network end of the adapter cable. EIA/TIA-449 cables are available as either DTE (DB-37 plug) or DCE (DB-37 receptacle).

V.35 Connections
The router (VIP) end of all V.35 adapter cables is a high-density 60-pin plug. The opposite (network) end of the adapter cable provides a standard 34-pin Winchester-type connector commonly used for V.35 connections. Figure 1-6shows the connectors at the network end of the V.35 adapter cable. V.35 cables are available with a standard V.35 plug for DTE mode (CAB-V35MT=) or a V.35 receptacle for DCE mode (CAB-V35FC=).
Figure 1-6 V.35 Adapter Cable Connectors
Note Also available, but not shown in Figure 1-6, are CAB-V35MC=, a V.35 cable with a plug on the network end for DCE mode, and CAB-V35FT=, a V.35 cable with a receptacle on the network end for DTE mode. These cables are used for connecting V.35-equipped systems back to back.
