The RJ-45 console port uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector (See

Table C-6

45-to-DB-9 adapter cable is used to connect the console port of the switch to a console PC. You need to
provide a RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter if you want to connect the switch console port to a
terminal. You can order a kit (part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) containing that adapter. For console port
and adapter pinout information, see
