• With cables (Cisco RPS number PWR600-AC-RPS-CAB)—Includes four
one-to-one (22-pin to 18-pin) cables for connecting to hubs and switches or
for quasi-redundant support for Cisco 2600 series routers; Cisco 3620,
Cisco 3640, and Cisco 3725 routers; and Cisco 4000 series routers.
• Without cables (Cisco RPS number PWR600-AC-RPS-NCAB)—Cables
must be ordered separately:
–
One-to-one (22-pin to 18-pin) cables for connecting to hubs and switches
or for quasi-redundant support for Cisco 2600 series routers; Cisco 3620,
Cisco 3640, and Cisco 3725 routers; and Cisco 4000 series routers
–
One-to-one (22-pin to 8-pin) cables for quasi-redundant support for
Cisco 2500 series routers and Cisco MC3810 multiservice concentrators
–
Two-to-one Y cables (22-pin to 18-pin, or 22-pin to 8-pin) for fully
redundant support for routers or concentrators only
Note The fully redundant configuration is supported only for routers, not
