Connecting to a Distribution Panel
By using two types of octopus cable, you can connect MAXserver serial ports
to a distribution panel that has DB-25 connectors. This enables you to adapt
modular cabling to NBase-Xyplex TSERV-style cabling. NBase-Xyplex offers
octopus cables that fan out a 50-pin Telco connector to 8 male or female DB-
25 connectors. These cables are available from NBase-Xyplex in 3', 10', and
50' lengths. You can connect the unit to the distribution panel via the two
octopus cables as shown in Figure 19. (You might need an extension cable to
connect the two cables.)
