CAB-OCTAL-ASYNC cables use a 68-pin connector and breakout cable and provide eight RJ-45 rolled cable asynchronous ports on each 68-pin connector. You can connect each RJ-45 rolled cable asynchronous port to the console or Aux port of a device. The NM-16A or NM-32A high-density asynchronous network modules available for the 2600 and 3600 Series Routers can use this cable. For more information on cabling, refer to Serial Cable Guide and Cabling Guide for RJ-45 Console and AUX Ports.
