[Asterisk-Users] what cable to connect a legacy PBX to a TE410P ?

[Paul Mahler]

A T carrier cable is not the same as an ethernet cable. A T carrier  cable uses a real metal shielded RJ-45 and loosely twisted pair wire.  With most modern T carrier equipment, you can use a CAT-5 ethernet cable  instead of a real T carrier cable. A T-carrier crossover cable does not  have the same wiring pattern as a crossover ethernet cable. With an  older piece of equipment like the Matra, I would be tempted to purchase  a real T carrier crossover cable. This is covered in my book, by the way.
