Connector and Cable Specifications

Console Port

The switch has two console ports: a USB 5-pin mini-Type B port on the front panel and an RJ-45 console
port on the rear panel.
Figure 32: USB Mini-Type B Port
The USB console port uses a USB Type A to 5-pin mini-Type B cable. The USB Type A-to-USB mini-Type
B cable is not supplied. You can order an accessory kit (part number 800-33434) that contains this cable.
Figure 33: USB Type A-to-USB 5-Pin Mini-Type B Cable
The RJ-45 console port uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connection. The supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable is used
to connect the console port of the switch to a console PC. You need to provide a RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE
adapter if you want to connect the switch console port to a terminal.
