APPENDIX D
Console Port to Cisco Server Cabling
This appendix describes how to interconnect the Console port on the Management Input/Output card
(MIO/UMIO) to a Cisco communication server or router equipped with an asynchronous interface module.
When so equipped these devices can be configured to function as terminal servers in management networks.
This appendix contains the following sections:

Introduction
Cisco communication servers and routers can be equipped with asynchronous interface modules as shown in
the table below. These modules accept one of two types of serial RJ45 "octopus" cables:
• CAB-HD8-ASYNC – uses a single high-densityVHDC168M connector at the interface module end,
• CAB-OCTAL-ASYNC – uses a single Micro-D68M connector at the interface module end.
Both cable assemblies source eight 10 ft. (3 meter) cables terminated with male RJ45 plugs.
