In a modern data center environment, there are many types of equipment with different requirements in terms of shape & size of the RS-232 console ports. The most typical examples are traditional 25 pin RS-232 (DB-25), 9 pin RS-232 (DB-9) & RS-232 on RJ-45 connectors. Please note: networking components such as switches, routers, UPS & wireless devices require that speeds & standards be consistent throughout the network to gain optimum performance.
