I am not Kevin, but I'll tell you that I will not EVER use an Ethernet cable for T1 again. Kevin and I have discussed this at length, and the "should work" plays out poorly in the real world, or at least mine. I've had it be fine, and had major problems. I can't even find a pattern to it, like length of cable.<div>
<br></div><div>In a colo cabinet that was direct-connected to a carrier, it worked great for years and then one day...no T1. Just gone. Go down there and put in a real T1 cable, came right up, still up years later.<br><br>
I usually make my own, since they are so expensive to buy. I just connect the four needed pins, pretty easy to do if you're not trying to stuff all eight wires into the connector.</div><div><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div>Kevin, under what circumstances would an Ethernet cable potentially not<br>
work with T1/E1? And in those circumstances, what should be used instead?<br>
I'm wondering because I had never realised it was an issue until you said.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
