Like ConsoleSwitch, many newer devices also provide serial ports in RJ45 form. However, as noted above,
each implementation is proprietary: not all serial ports using RJ45 connectors are alike!
Owners of hardware with RJ45 serial ports, who very familiar with network cabling, may be able to crimp their
own UTP/Cat 5 cable such that no adapters are necessary to connect their device to ConsoleSwitch; a single,
custom-made UTP/Cat 5 cable can connect the device’s RJ45 serial port to ConsoleSwitch’s RJ45 serial device
ports.
To do so, reference the RJ45 pin-out diagram above, along with the serial RJ45 pin-out diagram of your device.
For your convenience, the following cable pin-out diagram can be used to make a UTP / Cat 5 cable that
connects ConsoleSwitch to most Sun and Cisco devices equipped with RJ45 serial ports, such as the Sun Netra
T1 server.

8 1 WARNING:
Not all Sun and Cisco devices have been
tested with this cable; you must refer to the user’s manual
of your device, to confirm its pin-out. If you are at all
unfamiliar with this procedure, you should not attempt to
make your own direct-connect cable – instead, use
Raritan’s standard DB9 and DB25 adapters.
