In the Four-Wire Direct (EIA-422) wiring mode, the clock signals are encoded with the receive and transmit data signals, so only two twisted pairs are required.

The Four-Wire Direct cable is a twisted pair cable with a male HD-15 (high-density DB-15) connector at one end and a female HD-15 at the other end. The cable should be shielded, and the shield must be connected to the HD-15 connector shell at both ends.
