To identify cables, you can stick labels on them. For more information,
refer to Appendix B “Engineering Labels for Cables”.
3.9.2 Connecting Console Cable
I. Introduction
Console cable is an 8-core shielded cable. At one end of the cable is a
crimped RJ-45 connector that is to be plugged into the console port of the
switch. At the other end of the cable is a DB-9 (female) connector. You can
plug it into the 9-pin (male) serial port on the console terminal. The
following figure illustrates the console cable.
