Appendix A. Cable Specifications
A.1 Introduction
This appendix gives detailed information on the following:
• Uniport cables and adapters
• Parallel cables
• 10BASE-T cabling
A.2 Uniport Cables and Plugs
Uniports can be used a standard serial connections or as parallel connections
using the special Uniport adapter (LT310A).
• If you are going to use the Uniport as a standard serial connection for
either an input (such as PCs or minicomputers), or output (such as
printers or plotters) device, see Section A.3—you will need special
adapters. There are two types: DB25 to RJ-45 and DB9 to RJ-45.
It plugs into the Ethernet Print Server's Uniport.
• If you are going to use the Uniport as a parallel output (to a printer),
then you need a special adapter. See Table A-1 for a description of
the Uniport adapters. For cables and plugs for the Uniport connection
(LT310A), see Section A.3.
A.3 Serial Cables and Plugs (for the Uniport Connection)
Use Table A-1 for help when ordering serial cables and plugs. It lists the
serial cable types for the devices that you can connect to the Uniport,
and the plugs to use on the serial device. All serial cable must be 8-wire.
