Cables and Connectors

This appendix lists cables that have been tested and verified for use with the HP Hub-16M. The following topics are covered:

■recommended Cables

■twisted Pair Cable/Connector Pinouts

■RS-232 Connector and Cable Pinouts

It also includes minimum pin-out information so, if you wish to use an unlisted cable, you can verify that the cables used in your installation are correctly wired. Note that each pin-out does not necessarily match the pin-out for the corresponding HP cable, but cables manufactured to follow the minimum pin- out will function correctly.

Recommended Cables
