Connecting Ethernet Data Cables
From the primary CBS, a data cable connects every secondary CBS in
the system as shown previously in “CBS Ethernet Cable Connections”
section. Note that the Uplink data connector is used to connect to a
higher level CBS and the data connectors 1, 2, 3, and 4 are used to
connect to lower level CBSs. Otherwise, use standard CAT5 Ethernet
wiring conventions.
General Comments Regarding Ethernet Wiring
In this section, the assumption is that RJ45 connectors are being
crimped directly to the ends of each cable. It is acceptable to use punch-
down jacks and pre-fabricated CAT5 patch cables, or any other
generally accepted CAT5 wiring methodology.
