Chapter 3 Cable Information and Specifications for Cisco 1900 Series Routers Preparing to Connect to a Network Auxiliary Port Connections The router has an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous serial auxiliary port (RJ-45) that supports flow control. Depending on the cable and the adapter used, this port will appear as a DTE or DCE device at the end of the cable. For connection to a modem, your router is provided with an RJ-45-to-DB-9 cable and a DB-9-to-DB-25 adapter. For detailed information about connecting devices to the auxiliary port, see the "Connecting to the Auxiliary Port" section on page 4-20. For cable and port pinouts, refer to Cisco Modular Access Router Cable Specifications. Preparing to Connect to a Network When setting up your router, consider distance limitations and potential electromagnetic interference (EMI) as defined by the applicable local and international regulations.

Ethernet Connections The IEEE has established Ethernet as standard IEEE 802.3. The Cisco 1941 Ethernet implementations are as follows: • 1000BASE-T-1000 Mb/s full-duplex transmission over a Category 5 or better unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable. Supports the Ethernet maximum length of 328 feet (100 meters). • 100BASE-T-100 Mb/s full-duplex transmission over a Category 5 or better unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable. Supports the Ethernet maximum length of 328 feet (100 meters). • 10BASE-T-10 Mb/s full-duplex transmission over a Category 5 or better unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable.

Auxiliary Port Connections

The router has an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous serial auxiliary port (RJ-45) that supports flow control.

Depending on the cable and the adapter used, this port will appear as a DTE or DCE device at the end

of the cable.

For connection to a modem, your router is provided with an RJ-45-to-DB-9 cable and a DB-9-to-DB-25

adapter.

For detailed information about connecting devices to the auxiliary port, see the

“Connecting to the

Auxiliary Port” section on page 4-20

For cable and port pinouts, refer to

Cisco Modular Access Router Cable Specifications

Preparing to Connect to a Network

When setting up your router, consider distance limitations and potential electromagnetic interference

(EMI) as defined by the applicable local and international regulations.

The following sections describe network connection considerations for several types of network

interfaces:

•

•

ISDN BRI Connections, page 3-6

•

CSU/DSU Connections, page 3-6

Refer to

Cisco Modular Access Router Cable Specifications

connections and interfaces.

Ethernet Connections

The IEEE has established Ethernet as standard IEEE 802.3. The Cisco 1941 Ethernet implementations

are as follows:

•

1000BASE-T—1000 Mb/s full-duplex transmission over a Category 5 or better unshielded

twisted-pair (UTP) cable. Supports the Ethernet maximum length of 328 feet (100 meters).

•

100BASE-T—100 Mb/s full-duplex transmission over a Category 5 or better unshielded

twisted-pair (UTP) cable. Supports the Ethernet maximum length of 328 feet (100 meters).

•

10BASE-T—10 Mb/s full-duplex transmission over a Category 5 or better unshielded twisted-pair

(UTP) cable. Supports the Ethernet maximum length of 328 feet (100 meters).
