Figure 5 Communications Cable Type TC-305-01
This type of Trusted TM Communications Cable is designed to provide connection to the
communications ports available at the Trusted TM Communications Interface T8151 via flying leads.
The Communications Interface end of the Cable (SKT1) is fitted with a 78+2-way type ‘M’ connector
housed in a single-width hood. The hood is fitted with an earth braid. The other ends of the Cable
(8-off) are left free. Connectors conforming to user requirements are fitted. Only one, or other type of
the Ethernet ports may be used, not both simultaneously.
The Cable is manufactured from either
• Cat 5, screened PVC sheath (TC-305-01)
• Cat 6 Plus, screened LSF/OH sheath (TC-305-02)
The flying lead end of the sheathing is covered in heat shrink and heated to prevent fraying. 50H
coaxial cables is supplied for Ethernets E1 and E3.
Refer to Table 2 overleaf for details of pin connections, including screening.
