Black Box 16-Port Rackmount 10/100 Installation Manual Download Page 61

Page: 61 / 90

The arrows in Figure 12-6 represent the direction of the signal. The pinouts assume that the

8-conductor cable connecting the Terminal Server and the adapter block is a swapped

cable. Both the transmit and receive ground signals on the Terminal Server connector are

wired to the signal ground on a DB9 adapter.

The information about crimping the RJ45 ground wires in

RJ45 to DB25

applies to the DB9

connector as well.
