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).
