Rollover Cable and Adapter Pinouts
This section describes how to identify a rollover cable and also describes the
adapter pinouts.
Identifying a Rollover Cable
You can identify a rollover cable by comparing the two modular cable ends. Hold
the cable ends side-by-side, with the tab at the back. The wire connected to the
pin on the outside of the left plug should be the same color as the wire connected
to the pin on the outside of the right plug. (See Figure B-12.)
