Cable Specifications


This appendix provides the following cable assembly illustrations and pinout descriptions, which you can use to construct your own cables:

RS-232 console port cable

RS-232 auxiliary port cable

Serial DTE RS-232 cable

Serial DTE RS-449 cable

Serial DTE V.35 cable

Serial DTE X.21 cable

Serial DTE EIA-530 cable

Ethernet (AUI) cables

The cables available from us meet FCC part 15J Class A requirements and Verband Deutscher Electrotechniker (VDE) 0871 Limit B levels. If you construct your own cables, refer to the appropriate documentation regarding interference considerations and cable length limitations.

Assembling Your Own Cables

When assembling your cable, follow these steps:


Step 1 Fold back the braided shield to make electrical and mechanical connection with the metal shell on both ends.

Step 2 Cut unterminated wires back. Insulate or ensure insulation from other conductors.

Step 3 Use the following illustrations and connection tables as a guide to creating your own cables:

When assembling an RS-232 console port cable, refer to

When assembling an RS-232 auxiliary port cable, refer to .

When assembling an RS-232 cable, refer to and .

When assembling an RS-449 cable, refer to and .
