Looking for the right cable here

Crunchyhippo

We did labs in school where we connected two voice routers via a T1 cable for PSTN work, and I need this cable for my home lab. I found this one, but I wanted to make sure it would be the right one. I have a T1/E1 port on each router.

It's described as "CAB-DSU-RJ45 6' Cable to connect WIC-1DSU-T1 to T1 Line". Runs about $15.00 including tax. I just don't have the tools or parts to make my own. Thanks.

Since you're connecting 2 T1 interfaces back-to-back, you need a T1 Cross Over Cable

You can usually find them on eBay if you don't want to make your own.

Right. Ebay is actually where I found this one. Since it said "...T1 to T1 Line" I thought it was what I needed. I'll make sure it says "crossover" along with T1, then. Thanks.

Make one.
Here is the pinouts for a T1-Xover cable:

I agree with pullin-gs --- But make sure you label that thing after you make it... -- $15 for a cable that you could make is kinda crazy...
