RS-232-C cables are used to connect the data equipment to the patch
panel. This particular panel shows two 50-pin connectors into twelve

scheme. This cable replaces the combined patch panel and RS-232-C
cabling scheme. The 25-pair cable is split into six RS-232-C male or female
connectors. This allows direct connections to the data equipment from the
I/O panel. The octopus cable allows for the maximum segregation of the
voice signals that might otherwise be present within the same 25-pair cable.
