Product Overview

The CISCO CAB-OCTAL-ASYNC cable serves as a robust connectivity solution for Cisco router interfaces requiring asynchronous communication capabilities. Designed to optimize hardware compatibility for Cisco 2509, 2511, and 2512 series routers, this 8-port octal cable provides a 68-pin high-density connector on one end and branches into eight male RJ-45 connectors on the other. This configuration enables simultaneous serial connections within data centers or enterprise network infrastructures, reducing cable clutter and simplifying managed serial device deployment.

Manufactured in the United States and marked as TAA compliant, the cable aligns with federal acquisition guidelines, ensuring it is suitable for government and institutional networking environments. The durable build of the network cable minimizes signal loss and promises long-term operational consistency. Optimized for use in situations where multiple terminal servers or asynchronous serial devices need to be centralized, the CAB-OCTAL-ASYNC enhances equipment density while lessening the setup complexity, boosting installation efficiency and ROI.
