DS256 Cable Pinout

[morgansdad]

Does anyone have the pinout/diagram on how to make/crimp the DS256 cable from the BCM400 to the expansion module 1000e? My customer upgraded and the cable got lost in translation.

needs to be a straight ethernet-cable (all pins covered) with a length of EXACT 5 meters.

Thank you for the help. It was a straight ethernet cable that I needed, however it was the length I had wrong. I was using a 7ft patch cable, switched to a 14ft and the expansion module came right up. Thanks again for the help.

Don't be surprised if you have some "weird" problems using that cable (14 ft). The cable needs to be EXACTLY 5 meters due to timing issues between the main unit and the expansion module. (5 meters = 16ft 4.85 inches)
