Cables and Adapters for the DECserver
Description
The BN24H is a three twisted-pair cable with a standard 8-
Pin modular plug (DEC-423) on one end and a 6-Pin
MMP (modified modular plug) on the other.
The BN24V supports direct connection of 8-Pin MJ
(RJ45) console ports directly to DECserver ports.
Note: No adapters are required.
The BN25G is a four twisted-pair cable with standard 8-
Pin modular plugs.
Use this adapter and the BN24H cable to connect to 25-
Pin D-sub plug connectors (for example: printers).
Use this adapter and the BN24H cable to connect to 25-
Pin D-sub socket connectors.
The H8585-AA 8-Pin MJ to DB9 (socket) null-modem
adapter is used to convert the serial port to a DB9 socket
connector for asynchronous connection to a PC port.
The H8585-AB 8-Pin MJ to DB25 (plug) low-speed
modem adapter is used to convert a serial port to the DB25
configuration. Used for older styles of modems.
The H8585-AC 8-Pin MJ to DB25 (plug) high-speed
modem adapter is used to convert a serial port to the DB25
configuration.
The universal adapter connects the DECserver ports to any
standard 9-Pin "D" subminiature socket console port cable
kit.
Note: This adapter requires a BN25G-xx cable to connect
from the 8-Pin MJ port to the DECserver port.
