Appendix B Connector and Cable Specifications

Cable and Adapter Specifications

Console Port

The console port uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector, which is described in Table B-4and Table B-5. The supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable is used to connect the console port of the switch module to a console PC. You need to provide a RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter if you want to connect the switch module console port to a terminal. You can order a kit (part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) containing that adapter from Cisco. For console port and adapter pinout information, see Table B-4and Table B-5.
