CAB-HD8-ASYNC, Cisco High-Density 8-Port EIA-232 Async Cable, Refurbished
Warranty: Lifetime
Quick answer: The Cisco CAB-HD8-ASYNC is a genuine Cisco high-density async breakout cable that splits one 68-pin HD connector into 8 RJ-45 EIA-232 serial connections, for Cisco HWIC-8A/HWIC-16A cards and NIM-16A/NIM-24A modules used as terminal servers. Resilient Tec sells it refurbished, covered by our lifetime warranty, with free US shipping from Knoxville, TN.
Cisco CAB-HD8-ASYNC Async Cable – Specifications
Product Overview
The CAB-HD8-ASYNC is the factory-matched cable for Cisco multi-port async interface cards. One end plugs into the 68-pin HD port on the card; the other fans out to eight RJ-45 connectors that connect to the console ports of routers, switches and firewalls. It is the standard building block for terminal servers, out-of-band (OOB) management networks and lab racks. Async cards such as the HWIC-8A cannot be used without it.
Condition: Refurbished
Genuine Cisco CAB-HD8-ASYNC, refurbished and tested before it ships from Knoxville, Tennessee. Cosmetic wear consistent with prior use is possible. Covered by the Resilient Tec lifetime warranty.
