The X.21 interface is normally found on a 15-Pin D Sub connector.
The
pinout for the 15-pin connector is shown below.
X.21 used a state-driven
protocol running full duplex from 9600bps to 64 Kbps.
The X.21 interface
is out-dated, first being introduced in the mid 1970's.
The X.21
interface may also be found on other connector sizes.
Also refer to the
RS422 Electrical bus page which uses the same
signal.
The X.21 interface is obsolete, and may also be referred to as just X21.
