I have a lab with a 2511 and the older ones dont need an octal cable..they have 16 RJ ports that connect the console cables that come with cisco gear just fine..and I am using 14 of those ports with my lab..

The 2511 can also be used. Though, you need an octal cable (8-async lines) or two (up to 16 asyncs) for it to be useful. However, in a practice lab environment, I'm sure you won't be configuring more than 8 or 9 devices. So a 2509-RJ is much more practical.... at least for me.
