Ruth's sister CAB-OCTAL-ASYNC Octal Cable HPDB68M to 8×RJ45 for 2509/2511 NM-16A/32A

SKU CH-X5V4-92C2Q

Octal cable connects Cisco 2509, 2511, NM-16A and NM-32A modules via HPDB68 male to eight RJ45 ports

  • Connects 16 or 32 async lines via one cable
  • HPDB68M plug mates with 2509 and 2511 routers
  • Eight RJ45 ports link to NM-16A and NM-32A modules
  • Octal design reduces internal cabling clutter

Octal Cable for Cisco 2509 and 2511 Routers

This cable connects a single HPDB68M port to eight RJ45 connectors. It is built for Cisco 2509 and 2511 access servers and for NM-16A or NM-32A async network modules. Network engineers use it to break out one high-density interface into multiple serial console links. The assembly supports 16 or 32 simultaneous asynchronous sessions depending on the module fitted.

Signal Integrity Over Extended Runs

The 68-pin connector maintains consistent contact pressure across all channels during continuous data transfer. Shielded conductors reduce crosstalk when all eight lines carry traffic at the same time. The cable handles sustained asynchronous loads without the signal degradation seen in shorter test bursts. Installations needing longer reaches should verify attenuation limits for their specific baud rates.

Questions about this item

How much heat or noise does the CAB-OCTAL-ASYNC octal cable generate when running all day?

The cable is a passive copper assembly with no active components, so it produces no measurable heat and makes no noise during continuous operation.

Which router or module must I already own for the HPDB68M connector to work?

The 68-pin HPDB68M end fits Cisco 2509, 2511 routers and NM-16A or NM-32A async modules; one of those devices is required for the cable to function.
