Connector and Cable Specifications
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.
