HSSI Connector Signals
Table A-13 shows the signal pinouts for each type of E1-G.703/G.704 interface cable. All cables use
a 15-pin D-shell (DB-15) connector at the FSIP end.

HSSI Connector Signals
Two types of cables are available for use with the HIP: the HSSI interface cable used to connect the
HIP HSSI port with an external DSU (and HSSI network) and a null modem cable, which allows you
to connect two collocated routers back to back.
HSSI Interface Cable
The HSSI interface cable (Product Number CAB-HSI1) connects the HIP port with an external
DSU. The cable comprises 25 twisted pairs and a 50-pin SCSI-II-type plug at each end. Although
the HSSI cable is similar to a SCSI-II cable, it is not identical; you cannot substitute a SCSI-II cable
for a HSSI interface cable. (See the following Caution.) Table A-14 lists the pin signals for the
connector.
Caution Although the HIP connector and the HSSI interface cable are similar to SCSI-II format,
the HSSI cable specification is more stringent than that for a SCSI-II. We cannot guarantee proper
operation if a SCSI-II cable is used instead of an HSSI interface cable.
