Hey lets not start a panic! Ask Livingston first before
suggesting that we NOT use the cables in the box.

This discussion has come up before about using cat 5 for serial
connections but I dont believe specifically about rj-48

Regarding serial. Afer that discussion, I did A LOT of testing on cat 5
passing serial data to printers at 9600 baud over varying lengths versus 8
conductor 4 pair shielded wire. I found that I had NO problems at 9600
baud.

Due to the nature of t1 connections, I would think that you would need
to use a properly speced cable for it. I do NOT think Livingston would
ship a $20,000 product with the wrong cables.

Just my 9 cents.
