6 Cables for connecting a Distribution Panel to a Device Cables for connecting a Distribution Panel to a Device It is important to use appropriate cables when connecting terminals, printers and other serial devices to a DTC distribution panel. This is because certain signals are present for test purposes on otherwise unused pins of the 25-pin connectors of the distribution panels. In particular, for RS-232 direct connections (no modem signals) to direct-connect or modem ports, use cables with these connections only: Pin1: Shield Pin2: Receive Data (input) Pin3: Transmit Data (output) Pin7: Signal Ground Using cables which have other pins connected can cause the DTC to fail its selftest and may damage the line driver. Recommended cables The cables listed below (DB25 to DB25) are recommended for connecting the DDP and the MDP to devices.
