Crossover ISDN S/T Cable
Description
A 2BST interface card works in network termination (NT) mode and supports only voice services, but not data services. The 2BST interface card uses a crossover ISDN S/T cable (adapter cable). A straight-through cable can be used as an extension cable for the crossover ISDN S/T cable.
Structure and Pin Assignments
Figure 8-47 shows the structure of a crossover ISDN S/T cable.
