Description
The Cisco CAB-ASYNC-8 is an 8-port asynchronous cable designed for high-performance serial connectivity in Cisco networking environments. This cable features a high-density 68-pin connector on one end, which splits into eight RJ-45 connectors, allowing multiple asynchronous devices to connect to a single interface. It is commonly used with Cisco access servers and routers to manage console connections, async modems, or terminal server applications. Built with durable materials and reliable shielding, it ensures signal integrity and long-term performance in demanding network setups.
With a total cable length of approximately 10 feet (3 meters), the CAB-ASYNC-8 provides flexibility in rack-mounted configurations while maintaining a clutter-free setup. It supports asynchronous communication speeds up to 115.2 Kbps per port, making it suitable for low-speed serial connections. Compatibility with Cisco 2500, 2600, 3600, and 3800 series routers enhances its versatility in enterprise networking environments. This cable is a cost-effective solution for expanding serial connectivity in a used or refurbished Cisco network infrastructure.
