Straight through DTE to DCE cable: This illustration shows the pin assignments for
the straight through DTE to DCE cable used with a modem (P/N 043237S). If you find
that you are losing data, you may need to isolate the chassis ground from one of the
two devices by connecting it to the shield.
Note: The metal backshell is connected directly to the shield to achieve
electrostatic discharge (ESD) immunity.
