HP J2415A Installation And Reference Manual page 88

Cables and Connectors
This appendix lists cables that have been tested and verified for use with the
HP AdvanceStack 100VG hubs. It also includes minimum pin-out
information so, if you wish to use an unlisted cable, you can verify that the
cables used in your installation are correctly wired. Note that each pin-out
does not necessarily match the pin-out for the corresponding HP cable, but
cables manufactured to follow the minimum pin-out will function correctly.

Incorrectly wired cabling is the most common cause of problems for LAN
communications. HP recommends that you work with a qualified LAN cable
installer for assistance with your cabling requirements.
These topics are discussed:
For cables to be connected to modules installed in the 100VG Xcvr Slots or
the 100VG Expansion Slots, see the documentation accompanying those
modules.
