RJ-45 to DB-25 adapter cables of various lengths can be built and used to
connect the fan out cable ports to various peripheral devices. See
Chapter 4 for wiring information.
The J2484A port module and fan out cable use standard RS-232 pinouts.
Modular adapters are available for converting to HP proprietary RJ-45
or DB-25 pinouts (see Chapter 4).
For SuperDome systems, a 12-foot cable, Part Number A6748-63001, is
the minimum length cable required to exit the system.
For V-Class systems, the 12-foot cable, Part Number A6748-63001, is the
