They are *not* ethernet cables.
They are T-1 cables, and have only pins 1,2,4, and 5 pinned straight
through. They are to connect the telco jack and the line connector on
the PM3.
Livingston probably saved around 10 cents per cable that way. I wonder
what it's costing their tech support department in phone calls. For a
few pennies more they could have pinned all four pairs, and the cables
would be usable for either T-1 or 10-base-T.
