1397.0. "Shielded connectors ?" by BRIEIS::BARKER_E (test dummy) Fri Sep 09 1994 09:19

    Hi,
    
    	As a point of interest and for a project I'm working on, which of
    our 90/900 modules that take twisted pair have shielding in the
    connectors ? I noted the 90T+ announcement stating that is has a 
    shielded connector, do the other repeaters, Terminal Servers, Bridges 
    also have shielded connectors, particularly the DECbridge 900EF (900MX) 
    and DECrepeater 90TS.
    
    	Thanks,

1397.1repeaters...KALI::PAGLIARORich Pagliaro, Hub Products GroupFri Sep 09 1994 09:315
    The DECrepeater 900TM, DECrepeater 90TS, and the DECrepeater 90T+ all
    support both shielded and unshielded twisted pair wiring.  I can't
    speak for the terminal/access servers and bridges.

    All the 900 series bridges (...er switches) support shielded
    and unshielded TWP wiring plants.

1397.3what about the actual connectors ?BRIEIS::BARKER_Etest dummyFri Sep 09 1994 11:5116
    Hi,
    
    	Thanks for the replies, but I need to know whether as well as
    supporting STP whether the connectors are shielded as well. For the
    DECswitch 900EF I've found the answer now, and the S/UTP connectors are
    stated as being Shielded Connectors. The DECrepeater 90TS manual
    doesn't state whether the connectors are shielded or unshielded,
    anybody know ? The DECrepeater 90T+ has shielded connectors but no
    standalone management capability, I'm hoping the 90TS has shielded
    connectors so I can have a manageable repeater with shielded
    connectors.
    
    	Thanks again, sorry to be so pedantic, just passing on customer
    queries !

1397.510BASE-T repeaters with shielded connectorsNACAD::PAGLIARORich Pagliaro, Hub Products GroupFri Sep 09 1994 13:535
    The DECrepeater 900TM, DECrepeater 90TS, and the DECrepeater 90T+ all
    have shielded connectors and support both shielded and unshielded
    twisted pair wiring.

    The telco repeater, DECrepeater 900GM, also has a shielded connector.

1397.8OBR conn. on DECswitch 900EF (DECbridge 900MX) shielded too...NACAD2::BATTERSBYWed Sep 14 1994 08:575
    Oh....and the OBR (Optical Bypass Relay) connector for the
    use of an FDDI optical bypass relay unit is also a shielded
    connector.
