Pinout Configuration
The Nortel PBX 25 pair wire Amphenol Cable must be punched down with the standard Nortel PBX E&M punch down scheme as
seen in this list in order for the E&M Cable Pinouts to work.
Wires: 5 pairs to a group:
● White-blue, white-orange, white-green, white-brown, white-slate(grey)
● Red-b, R-O, R-G, R-B, R-S
VIC-2E&M Pinout
The E&M voice interface card uses an RJ48S connector. The pinout depends on the PBX type and connection. This figure shows the
wiring pattern for this connector, and the lists typical configurations.
