Cable Recommendations
Table 13-1 below show the cables we recommend you use with HP ATM
adapters:
For ATM Adapters with MMF or SMF Interfaces
The Multi Mode Fiber-based (MMF) and Single Mode Fiber-based (SMF)
ATM adapters have SC connectors. For connecting to switches with ST
connectors, SC to ST duplex adapters are available from AMP. Use a
crossover cable to connect two adapters in a back-to-back configuration.
For ATM Adapters with UTP Cat 5 Interfaces
Use direct cables to connect UTP Cat 5-based adapters to an ATM
switch. Use a crossover cable to connect two adapters in a back-to-back
configuration. A UTP Cat 5 loopback hood is supplied with the ATM
adapter.
