RS530 DCE Cable
Description
Before selecting SA cables for a router, obtain the remote device type (including the synchronous/asynchronous mode and DTE/DCE role), and the signal standard, baud rate, and clock required for the remote device.
Structure and Pin Assignments
Figure 8-36 shows the structure of an RS530 DCE cable.
Table 8-60 lists the pin assignments of an RS530 DCE cable.

Connection
An RS530 DCE cable is connected as follows:
- The X1 connector (DB28) is connected to the SA interface card of a router.
- Connection of the X2 connector (DB25) depends on the type of the WAN link:
- If the WAN link is a digital data network (DDN) line, connect the X2 connector to an interface of a channel service unit (CSU) or data service unit (DSU).
- If the WAN link is a dial-up line, connect the X2 connector to the serial interface on a modem.
Ordering Information
Table 8-61 provides the RS530 DCE cable ordering information.
