DTE Drop/Insert Interface

The DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface connector is a DB15-type socket connector (Table D-2). For information about using Relay Contact Sense for external DTE loopback, refer to the DTE LB on Contact configuration option in DTE Interface Configuration Options of Appendix C.

The DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) cable (Figure D-3) is typically supplied by a DTE vendor. It is made of shielded twisted-pair wires (22 AWG). The cable connector is a DB15-type plug connector. Be sure to connect the shield ground only at the DSU/CSU end to prevent ground loops.
