[asterisk-users] T1 cable for Digium T1/E1 Cards

[Tom]

A common Cat5 straight through cable will work fine.

T1s use 1 and 2 (rx tip and ring) and 4 and 5 (tx tip and ring) for signals.

A T1 loopback plug would be wired 1 to 4 and 2 to 5.

They come in handy for testing T1 cards or for providing a hard loop 
for the telco.
