Connecting WAN and LAN Cables
Ethernet Connections
The IEEE has established Ethernet as standard IEEE 802.3. The Cisco 1800 series fixed-configuration
routers support the following Ethernet implementations:
• 100BASE-T—100-Mbps full-duplex transmission over a Category 5 or better unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) cable. Supports the Ethernet maximum length of 328
feet (100 meters).
• 10BASE-T—10-Mbps full-duplex transmission over a Category 5 or better unshielded twisted-pair
(UTP) cable. Supports the Ethernet maximum length of 328
feet (100 meters).
See the Cisco Modular Access Router Cable Specifications online document for information about
Ethernet cables, connectors, and pinouts.
ISDN BRI Connections
The ISDN BRI S/T interface on the Cisco 1801, Cisco 1802, Cisco 1803 and Cisco 1812 routers provides
an ISDN BRI connection for dial-backup purposes. The BRI S/T interface requires an external Network
Terminator 1 (NT1).
Use a BRI cable (not included) to connect the BRI S/T interface card directly to an ISDN NT1. Table 4-1
lists the specifications for ISDN BRI cables. Also, see the Cisco Modular Access Router Cable
Specifications online document for pinouts. This document is located on Cisco.com.
Ports and Cabling
Table 4-2 summarizes WAN and LAN connections for Cisco 1800 series fixed-configuration routers.
The connections summarized in Table 4-2 are also described in detail in the following documents:
