Cable and Adapter Specifications

This section contains the following topics:

Crossover and Straight-Through Cable Pinouts

The schematics of crossover and straight-through cables are shown in Figure B-1 and Figure B-2.

Rollover Cable and Adapter Pinouts

This section contains the following topics:

Identifying a Rollover Cable

To identify a rollover cable, compare the two modular ends of the cable. Hold the cable ends side by side, with the tab at the back. The wire connected to the pin on the outside of the left plug should be the same color as the wire connected to the pin on the outside of the right plug (see Figure B-3).

Connecting to a PC

Use the supplied thin, flat, RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable and RJ-45-to-DB-9 female DTE adapter to connect the console port to a PC running terminal-emulation software. Table B-4 lists the pinouts for the console port, the RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable, and the RJ-45-to-DB-9 female DTE adapter.

Connecting to a Terminal

Use the thin, flat, RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable and RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter to connect the console port to a terminal. Table B-5 lists the pinouts for the console port, the RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable, and the RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter.


Note   The RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter is not supplied with the switch. You can order a kit (part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) containing this adapter from Cisco.
