RJ-21 Port on SPA8800

[jkomar]

Can anyone tell me if the RJ-21 port on the SPA8800 is male or female?

Thanks,

4 ports are FXS and 4 ports are FXO

FXS means Foreign eXchange Subscriber. It delivers POTS service and must be connected to subscriber equipment (telephones, modems, and fax)

FXO means Foreign eXchange Office. It receives POTS service, typically from a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). An FXO interface points to the Telco.

Thanks for the reply, but I did realize that. The FXO and FXS ports are RJ-11 connections.

I am wondering about the RJ-21 (50-pin telco connector) multiport voice connection: whether it is a male or female connector. I have one on its way to a client and I need to purchase the correct cable to wire it into their patch panel.

Thanks,

Jason

How you can see in the image below the RJ21 amphenol is female.
