  • Page 29 Signaling Standards Supported The synchronous serial ports available for the router support the following signaling standards: EIA/TIA-232, EIA/TIA-449, V.35, X.21, and EIA-530. You can order a Cisco DB-60 shielded serial transition cable that has the appropriate connector for the standard you specify.
  • Page 30 Although manufacturing your own serial cables is not recommended (because of the small size of the pins on the DB-60 serial connector), cable pinouts are provided in the online document Cisco Modular Access Router Cabling Specifications on the Documentation CD-ROM that accompanied your router, and on Cisco Connection Online.
  • Page 31 Serial Connections Balanced drivers allow EIA/TIA-449 signals to travel greater distances than EIA/TIA-232 signals. The recommended distance limits for EIA/TIA-449 shown in Table 2-2 are also valid for V.35, X.21, and EIA-530. Typically, EIA/TIA-449 and EIA-530 can support 2-Mbps rates, and V.35 can support 4-Mbps rates. Asynchronous/Synchronous Serial Module Baud Rates The following baud-rate limitations apply to the slow-speed serial interfaces found in the asynchronous/synchronous serial modules:...
