HP Z7325A MUX/Interchange Panel Cable
The MUX connects to the interchange panel by a 160-conductor
(28 AWG) cable, three meters (10.77 feet) in length. The cable has male
connectors on each end, refer to Figure 1-3. The signals for each of the
pins are listed in Appendix A , "Interchange Panels."

Octopus Cables
Two-meter octopus cables with a 160-conductor connector on one end
and eight RS-232 or V.35 female connectors on the other end are also
available for connecting the MUX and the Packet Switching Network.
This cable replaces the 160-conductor cable and interchange panels for
RS-232 or V.35 connections. Figure 1-4 shows the MUX card with an
octopus cable.
The octopus cables do not support dual configuration (high-availability
NOTE
systems). You must use the 160-conductor cable and interchange panel
to implement the dual configuration feature if you require an highly
available system.
