Overview

Reliable Network Connectivity with Monoprice HD68M/8 Legs RJ-45 Cable

Ensure dependable connections for your network devices with the Monoprice 6-Feet HD68M/8 Legs RJ-45 Cable. This cable provides eight RJ45 ports from a single 68-pin connector, ideal for connecting to console or Aux ports on various devices. Designed for compatibility with Cisco network modules, it offers a practical solution for managing asynchronous ports.

Specifications:

  • Connector 1: 68-pin connector
  • Connector 2: Eight RJ45 rolled cable asynchronous ports
  • Length: 6 Feet
  • Compatibility: Cisco 2600 and 3600 series routers with NM-16A or NM-32A modules
  • Application: Connecting to console or Aux ports of devices

Key Features

CAB-OCTAL-ASYNC cables use a 68-pin connector and breakout cable to provide eight RJ45 rolled cable asynchronous ports on each 68-pin connector

You can connect each RJ-45 rolled cable asynchronous port to the console or Aux port of a device

The NM-16A or NM-32A high-density asynchronous network modules available for the Cisco 2600 and 3600 series routers can use this cable

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Designed with a 68-pin connector for robust and secure connections in networking setups.
  • Provides eight RJ45 rolled cable asynchronous ports, allowing for multiple device connections from a single cable.
  • Specifically designed for use with Cisco 2600 and 3600 series routers, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance.
  • The 6-foot length offers flexibility in positioning network equipment within a rack or workspace.
  • Enables connection of each RJ-45 rolled cable asynchronous port to a console or Aux port, enhancing network management.
  • This cable facilitates high-density asynchronous network modules, making it suitable for complex network architectures.

👎 Cons

  • The cable is highly specialized, primarily intended for Cisco 2600 and 3600 series routers, limiting universal applicability.
  • Uses a 68-pin connector, which is not a common interface in general networking, requiring specific hardware.
  • The "RJ45 rolled cable asynchronous ports" are specific and not standard Ethernet ports, which could be confusing.
  • A 6-foot length might be too short for some installations or too long for others, potentially leading to excess cable.
  • No information is provided about the cable material, shielding, or data transfer speeds beyond its asynchronous nature.
