Maestro cabling to Serial Terminal Console Servers

[Danny]

I'm trying to connect several Check Point appliances with a 19" serial terminal console server.
I already found cabling documentation for Maestro MHO-140 appliances:

• @Check Point
• @Mellanox

and for old Nokia IP390 appliances

• @Check Point , sk40149 mentions that a Cisco RJ45 rollover cable might work as well

I didn't find these for 15600 / 16600 appliances. Are these identical?

In my experience, standard Cisco cables always worked.

I second what @_Val_ said...my experience was such as well.

Thanks. You mean these:

Ok, will try. In my experience it depends on the Pin-out settings of the serial terminal console server.

I'm using a 19" Perle STS8. (Pin-out overview)

The sky-blue Cisco console cables were what I called a "rollover" cable, and matches the pinout diagram you provided.

On our digiport servers in our lab environment I have RJ45 pin-out, using normal lan kabels I go over distance, than have a RJ45 to DB9 connector which then connects using the cables delivered with the appliances (or blue cisco cables).

I ordered Cisco crossover adapters and attached them to standard patch cables.
This worked well with my Perle IOLAN STS Terminal Console Server.
