Table 10 lists the SPS (RJ-12) pin signals used on the connector.
RJ-12 modular jack to micro DB-9 cable
The cable connecting the SPS to the SP management module is an RJ-12 to micro DB-9
cable (plug). It has an RJ-12 connector (SPS side) on one end and a micro DB-9 connector
(SP management module side) on the other end. Figure 16 shows an example of an SPS to
SP management module cable.

RJ-12 modular jack to RJ-12 modular jack cable
The cable connecting the SPS to the LCC is an RJ-12 to RJ-12 connector. It has an RJ-12
connector (SPS side) on one end and a RJ-12 connector (LCC side) on the other end.
Figure 17 shows an example of an SPS to LCC cable.
