CAB-232MT= - Cisco RS-232 CABLE, DTE, MALE, 10 FEET

The router end of all EIA/TIA-232 adapter cables is a high-density 60-pin plug. The network end of the adapter cable is a standard 25-pin D-shell connector (known as a DB-25) that is commonly used for EIA/TIA-232 connections. Figure C-5 shows the connectors at the network end of the adapter cable. Do not use the Cisco Systems-provided EIA/TIA-232 adapter cable product number CAB-232MT= to connect a T1 interface that is configured for DTE mode directly to an NEC - NEXTSTAR 1E model C4969 MD/SAC unit interface that is configured for DCE mode. Doing so will keep transmit and receive data signals from being properly exchanged between the two interfaces. Instead, you must connect an additional, intermediate adapter cable—with standard EIA/TIA-232 DB-25 connectors at both ends—from the network end of product number CAB-232MT= to the standard EIA/TIA-232 DB-25 connector (the DCE interface) on the NEC - NEXTSTAR 1E model C4969 MD/SAC unit. Cisco Systems does not provide this additional cable. You can use the Cisco Systems-provided EIA/TIA-232 adapter cable product number CAB-232FC= to connect a T1 interface that is configured for DCE mode directly to an NEC - NEXTSTAR 1E model C4969 MD/SAC unit interface that is configured for DTE mode.
