FAQs

Q: Can these RJ-45 leads be used on Ethernet ports?
A: No. They carry RS-232 serial signals and are not wired for Ethernet.

Q: Is the pinout the same as a typical rollover console cable?
A: No. This uses the host’s octal async RJ-45 serial pinout; consult your host platform for exact mapping.

Q: Do I need RJ-45 to DB9 adapters for some devices?
A: Possibly. Many serial devices use DB-9; use the appropriate RJ-45-to-DB9 adapter if required.

Q: What data rates are supported?
A: Typical RS-232 async rates up to 115.2 kbps per port, depending on the host and attached device.
