Homemade console cable for 1601
Hi. I was wondering if anyone could help. I have a Cisco 1601 and no console cable. Based on what I have learned online, I have done the following: 1. I took a cat-5 straight through cable, pulled off the rj-45 connector and stuck it back on upside down to make a roll-over cable. 2. I purchased a RJ45/DB9F adapter. The problem is that the RJ45/DB9F adapter comes in two pieces and the wires must be manually inserted into the DB9F (serial) side of the adapter from the RJ45 side of the adapter. I'm not sure which wire goes where. There are 8 wires: 1. slate (gray) 2. brown 3. yellow 4. green 5. red 6. black 7. orange 8. blue There are 9 numbered holes on the DB9F side of the adapter. Does anyone know which wire goes in which hole (i.e., slate wire goes in hole 1, etc.)? Thanks, Scott **NOTE: New CCNA/CCDA List has been formed.

Scott, Hi! I'd be more than happy to give you a console cable for free, as long as you pick up the shipping. Brad b e l l i s @ o p t s y s . n e t (remove the spaces) ""Scott S.""

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_fix/cis2500/2501/ 2500ug/pin.htm Watch the word wrap. If you don't know which color wire goes to each pin on the plug then you will need a VOM or continuity tester to map it out. -Original Message- From: Scott S.
