Adapter for Digi Terminal Servers

This 6-inch cable converts EtherLite RJ45 pinouts to the TS pinout used by ConnectPort TS, ConnectPort LTS and PortServer TS units. It lets integrators keep existing EtherLite cabling when upgrading serial infrastructure. Each pack contains sixteen identical black adapters for multi-port deployments.

8-pin female to 10-pin male RJ45

The cable bridges an 8-pin female RJ45 connector on the legacy EtherLite side to a 10-pin male RJ45 connector on the TS side. This single pin-count translation is the only electrical change required; no recabling of the installed plant is necessary.

Fits ConnectPort and PortServer TS ports

Plug the 10-pin end into any ConnectPort TS, ConnectPort LTS or PortServer TS serial port, then attach the existing EtherLite-pinout cable to the 8-pin end. The short length keeps the patch panel tidy while freeing rack space that a full recable would consume.

Questions about this item

What does the 8-pin female to 10-pin male conversion actually do inside a rack?

It adapts existing EtherLite-pinout cabling to the TS pinout so you can plug legacy EtherLite 2, 80, 160 or 32 cables straight into ConnectPort TS, ConnectPort LTS or PortServer TS serial ports without recabling.

How does the RJ-45 interface limit the signals carried on this 6-inch adapter?

The 8-pin female end carries the EtherLite pinout while the 10-pin male end presents the TS pinout; only the signals mapped by the adapter cross the connector, so any pins unused by either standard remain disconnected.

What physical clearance do I need to fit the 6-inch cable between a PortServer TS port and the existing patch panel?

The cable is 6 inches long with an 8-pin RJ-45 female on one end and a 10-pin RJ-45 male on the other, so allow at least that length plus connector depth behind the PortServer TS, ConnectPort TS or ConnectPort LTS serial port.
