Hot Tip
Normally your telephone company should supply an RJ-11 style jack for the U interface.
This is the same 4 or 6-pin plug used for analog lines. However, sometimes you may find an
8-pin RJ-45 style jack–and sometimes you may even be charged extra for it! If you have this
situation, an RJ-11 plug can be inserted into the center of an RJ-45 jack to make things work.
If you discover that the Telco charged you extra, be sure to request a refund!
ISDN Worldwide (outside the USA & Canada): The S/T Interface
The S-interface version of the Nx12 connects to the NT1 at one of its terminal jacks. The NT1
is sometimes generically called a NCTE (Network Channel Terminating Equipment) or, in
some countries an NTBA.

ISDN S-interface cable
Use only an 8-conductor RJ-45 style cable. Unshielded twisted pair category 3 or better cable
should be used.

TIA 568A Category 5 cable colors shown. Both ends are wired identically - not crossover.
* The NX12 does not use these power connections
When fully wired, this cable has 4 twisted pairs ‘straight through’ just as with cables used for
Ethernet. Both ends are wired identically. The outside pairs are not required and may be omit-
ted.
