Required Equipment:
- 1 - 6' (2m) Cat-5 network cabling (uncrimped)
- 1 - RJ-45 Adapter
- 1 - Female DB-9 Serial Adapter
- RJ-45 Crimpers
- Soldering Iron/Solder
Start with the piece of
CAT-5 network cabling (about 6 feet long). Wire one end with an
RJ-45 jack with the standard wire pattern:
OR/W OR G/W B B/W G BR/W BR
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
The other end needs to be connected to a female
DB-9 serial port adapter. Pin configuration:
1 2 3 4 5
* * * * *

Solder the wires as follows:
RJ-45 | DB-9

If soldering is done correctly, you should now have a working
Management Cable for your
Cisco 67x router. You may find it helpful to get a piece of paper and some
crayons and draw a diagram to visualize it better.
