TOKEN RING

1A = SOLID PVC (BACKBONE)
 1B = SOLID PLENUM (BACKBONE)
1 = SOLID PVC (NOT A TYPE 1A BACKBONE)
3 = TYPE 3 (CATEGORY 5 PVC SOLID)
3P = TYPE 3 (CATEGORY 5 PLENUM SOLID)
6 = STRANDED PVC (ATTACHMENT)
9 = SOLID PLENUM (ATTACHMENT)

9F = DB9F
9M = DB9M
D1 = DATA w/180° EXIT
D4 = DATA w/45° EXIT
DY = TWO DATA
 ED = EMC DATA (300MHz)
M = SHIELDED RJ45 (10 BASE T)
MAMP = SHIELDED RJ45 (10 BASE T) AMP WIRING
MT = SHIELDED RJ45 (TOKEN RING)
T = TWINAX (DATA to ONE TWINAX)
TY = TWINAX Y (DATA to TWO TWINAX)
B = BLUNT
BM = BLUNT USING TYPE 6 MODIFIED (MODULAR PLUG)

9F = DB9F
9M = DB9M

X = CROSSOVER
BLANK = NOT CROSSOVER

Type 1 Token Ring costs less than Type 1A Token Ring and Token Ring will only run at MAXIMUM 16 Mbs so the Suffix "A" cable is NOT NECESSARY unless specified by the customer.

IBM USES SUFFIX (A) TO DENOTE 100 MEGAHERTZ PER SECOND. THE CABLE CAN BE EITHER PVC OR PLENUM.

(1A)(1B) ARE MAJOR CUSTOM CABLE PART NUMBERS. ALL OF OUR TOKEN RING CABLE MEETS TYPE SUFFIX (A) SPECIFICATIONS.

TOKEN RING = A popular type of LOCAL AREA NETWORK (LAN) utilizing a token passing access method and a ring topology.

DATA TO DATA = PATCH CABLE
DATA TO DB9M = PC ADAPTER CABLE
DATA TO SHIELDED RJ45 = SYNOPTICS 950.8 (M)
DATA TO SHIELDED RJ45 = AMP WIRING (MAMP)
DB9M TO SHIELDED RJ45 = TOKEN RING ADAPTER (NETWORK ADAPTER)

CHECK LIST:

1. ASSEMBLY TYPE (PATCH, PC ADAPTER, ...etc.)?
2. CONNECTORS (DATA, DB9M or SHIELDED RJ45)?
3. GENDER (MALE or FEMALE)?
4. JACKET (PVC or PLENUM)?
5. LENGTH?
