Each cable has a certain number of pins, and all cables have a pin 1. Pin 1 on a cable con-
nects to pin 1 on a connector. In the event that the pin 1 is not easily identified, both ends of
the cable should be labeled with either a 1 or 2 on one side or a higher number, such as 24,
25, 49, 50, and so on, on the other end. Pins 1 and 2
are always on the same end of a cable. If you find a
higher number, pin 1 is on the opposite end. Also,
the cable connector usually has an arrow etched into
its molding showing the pin 1 connection. Figure 4.5
shows pin 1 on a ribbon cable.
Pin 1 is the cable edge that is colored
Pin 1 on a ribbon cable is easily identified by the
colored stripe that runs down the edge of the cable.
