Description

This octal asynchronous breakout cable converts a single 68-pin high-density connector into eight RJ-45 rolled async connections, each suited to the console or Aux port of a connected device. It is designed for high-density async network modules such as the NM-16A and NM-32A on 2600 and 3600 Series routers, making it a practical choice for terminal and access server deployments. This 3ft (0.9m) version suits tidy, short-run connections within a rack.

- Compatible with NM-16A and NM-32A async network modules (2600/3600 Series routers)

FAQs

Q: Which modules is this cable compatible with?
A: It is designed for high-density async network modules such as the NM-16A and NM-32A used in 2600 and 3600 Series routers.

Q: How many devices can connect to one cable?
A: The cable provides eight RJ-45 async connections from a single 68-pin connector, so up to eight console or Aux ports can be reached.

Q: Can I connect to a device with a DB-25 port?
A: Yes. The RJ-45 ends can be used with DB-25 modular adapters when the end device has a 25-pin port.

Q: Is this a rolled or straight-through cable?
A: The RJ-45 ends are rolled for asynchronous connections. The 68-pin async ports are DTE, so DTE-to-DTE links use a rolled cable and DTE-to-DCE links need straight-through.
