FAQs

Q: What devices is this octal async cable compatible with?
A: It connects to equipment with an HD68 async port such as multiport async modules and access servers, then fans out to eight RJ-45 serial ports for terminals, consoles, or modems.

Q: Can the RJ-45 ends connect directly to DB9/DB25 serial devices?
A: Yes, by using appropriate RJ-45-to-DB9/DB25 adapters that follow the device pinout. The cable itself presents RJ-45 serial on each lead.

Q: Is this suitable for synchronous serial?
A: It is intended for asynchronous serial applications. For synchronous serial, use the specific cable type required by your interface.

Q: How are the eight RJ-45 leads identified?
A: Each lead is typically numbered to match the corresponding async port for simplified installation and troubleshooting.
