FAQs

Q: What hardware is this cable compatible with?
A: Async-capable network modules and access servers that expose a single HD68 octal port (e.g., multiport async modules, terminal servers).

Q: Is the RJ-45 end pinned as a console rollover cable?
A: No. It uses the Cisco async pinout for serial connections to RJ-45 async/console adapters and devices.

Q: Can I use this to connect modems or terminal adapters?
A: Yes. Each RJ-45 lead can connect to serial adapters or devices that support the Cisco async RJ-45 pinout.

Q: What is the maximum length?
A: This model is 3 ft (0.9 m). For longer runs, use appropriate serial extension cables at the device end.

Q: Does it require special drivers?
A: No. It is a passive breakout cable; configuration is done on the async interfaces.
