5.5.2 ABAM 600 T1 Cable
Table 5-4 defines the characteristics of shielded 22 AWG ABAM 600 T1 cable. Shielded ABAM 600
has better transmission characteristics and less potential for harmful crosstalk than unshielded 24
AWG twisted-pair telephone cable.

5.5.3 24 AWG Twisted-Pair
In common use throughout the industry, unshielded 24 AWG twisted-pair telephone cable is an
acceptable alternative to shielded ABAM 600 for cabling two Access Bank II SNMPs up to a recom-
mended distance of 3000 feet. The characteristics of 24 AWG twisted-pair are defined in ANSI/EIA/
TIA 568A (Oct. 1995), Commercial Building Telecommunications Wiring Standards, which is avail-
able from:

5.6 V.35 DCE Data Port Connections
The V.35 DCE data port connection is made at the 26-pin micro-D female connector on the Access
Bank II SNMP Control Panel (see Figure 5-1) using the 10-foot, 25-foot or 50 foot CAC DTE V.35
Data Cable equipped with a 26-pin micro-D male connector and a 34-pin Winchester male connector.
Note: These cables (005-0008-MM-10’, 005-0009-MM-25’, 005-0010-MM-50’)
are optional accessories, and can be purchased from distributors and dealers of CAC
products.
