PA-T3 Receptacles and Cables

The PA-T3 port adapter serial interface cable, which is a 75-ohm coaxial cable, connects your router to a T3 serial network. Serial cables conform to EIA/TIA-612 and EIA/TIA-613 speciﬁcations. The serial ports on the PA-T3 serial port adapter are considered to be data terminal equipment (DTE) devices.

On a single PA-T3 serial port adapter, there are one or two T3 serial ports, each with two connectors (receive and transmit), where you connect the Cisco 75-ohm coaxial cable. The 75-ohm coaxial cable (Cisco part number CAB-ATM-DS3/E3) for the PA-T3 serial port adapter is available only from Cisco Systems; it is not available from outside commercial cable vendors.

The Cisco PA-T3 75-ohm coaxial cable (see Figure 2-3) is available only in 10-foot (3.05-meter) lengths. The typical maximum distance between stations for PA-T3 transmissions is

1300 feet (396 meters).

You can test the data terminal equipment-to-data circuit-terminating equipment (DTE-to-DCE) cable connection by using the loopback dte command. See the “Using the loopback Command to Verify the Physical Interface” section on page 8-24 for more information.

Interoperability Guidelines for PA-T3 Serial Port Adapter DSUs

The PA-T3 serial port adapter supports several types of integrated DSUs. Table 2-3 lists the feature compatibilities of the PA-T3 serial port adapter DSUs.
