Cabling Requirements

CAUTION: Equipment damage

Do not use crossover cable in a Xanbus system.

The network uses Category 5 (CAT 5) cable, a standard cable available from any computer supply store. The cable consists of eight conductors in four twisted pairs with an RJ45 modular connector wired to the T568A standard. Table 3-2 contains the arrangements of wire colors to pin numbers for the T568A standard.

Table 3-2T568A Standard Wiring

Pin Number	Conductor Name	CAT 5 Cable Insulation Color
1	NET_S	White/Green
2	NET_S	Green
3	NET_C	White/Orange
4	CAN_L	Blue
5	CAN_H	White/Blue
6	NET_C	Orange
7	NET_S	White/Brown
8	NET_C	Brown

RJ45 Connector Requirements

The network cable uses modular RJ45 connectors, as shown in Figure 3-10. The connector is suitable for cost-sensitive applications and is easily installed. The RJ45 connector should be a modular plug, 8-position, 8-contact for round, stranded, unshielded cable.
