Figure 15 - MAXserver DEConnect Cable
NOTE: If you have existing DEConnect cables that you want to use
with the MAXserver, the one-foot straight through cable
and the RJ-45 to MMJ adapter or modular adapter allow
you to use these cables without making any changes. You
can also use the male RJ-45 to female MMJ adapter.
Octopus Cables
An octopus cable fans out a single 50-pin male or female Telco connector, or
a 36-pin male or female Telco DEConnect connector, to eight male RJ-45
connectors. These cables enable you to connect a MAXserver's serial ports to
existing wiring in your facility. For example, you can use octopus cables to
connect the MAXserver's serial ports to a punch down block.
