console connection using copper straight thorough cable to Cisco router?

[yuvaraj.karvekar11]

Hi Team,

I have situation now,i got the new hardware from Cisco (6504-E) and the standard Cisco console( RJ45 & DB connector)

I am having the Cyclade (ACS-5048 )Ethernet switch to provide the centralized console connections to all cisco devices.

so now i need the cisoco standard rollover cable (both sides RJ45) to connect console connections from cyclade switch.

My question is can I use straight through copper cable for console connections? is the future MDIX enabling will help me to use straight through cable for console ?

Please help......

Thanks & Best Regards

Hi

I have copper console cables but they go back to an opengear MGMT switch which understands it , does the Cyclade ? if it does it should work fine , my whole network is under Ethernet console switches , I don't use the blue rollovers unless im consoled into something the lab

The cisco side wont care its whether your end can understand it on the cyclade

Thank you Mark.

I am thinking can we use the normal straight through copper cable for console connections?

I am trying to avoid preparing rollover cable to be honest.

Thanks & Best Regards
