You have several choices. (1) Buy some DCE cables to mate with your DTE
cables. Good side - you can put your routers anywhere in the room as you
have 20 feet of cable (more than 6 meters). You can use the DTE cables with
external CSU/DSUs if desired. Bad side - you have 20 feet of cable. (2)
Purchase back to back cables from cable vendors. They come in various
lengths. Makes for a clean setup. Are less expensive than additional cables.
I have purchased from two vendors.
(a) www.StonewallCable.com shipped quickly. Cables were Cisco Teal in color.
Had metal hooded connectors.
(b) www.LoDanWest.com 800-541-1001 Talk to Dale Tank.Took three weeks to get
cables. Cables were black with molded on connectors. Think that these will
be sturdier. They make the cables for Cisco but aren't allowed to sell us
the Teal cables with the Cisco name that I have seen in Cisco training labs.
Part numbers and prices. (Last number equals length in feet.) I'm quite sure
that other lengths are available.
