How to Select a Serial Cable

Signaling Standards

Several standards define the signaling over the serial connectors on the router and serial

device, the serial cable, and the cable connectors. You can connect a serial device with the

following types of connectors to the router serial port:

•EIA/TIA-232

•EIA/TIA-449

•EIA/TIA-530

•EIA/TIA-530A

•X.21

•V.3 5

Check the documentation that ships with your serial device to determine the type of serial

connector on your serial device.

Connector Gender

If pins protrude from the base of a connector, the connector is male. If the connector has

holes to accept the pins, the connector is female.

A DTE device typically has a male connector, while a DCE device typically has a female

connector.

Examine the serial connector on your serial device to determine its gender.
