This appendix provides the following cable assembly illustrations and pinout descriptions, which you can use to construct your own cables:
The cables available from us meet FCC part 15J Class A requirements and Verband Deutscher Electrotechniker (VDE) 0871 Limit B levels. If you construct your own cables, refer to the appropriate documentation regarding interference considerations and cable length limitations.
When assembling your cable, follow these steps:
Step 1 Fold back the braided shield to make electrical and mechanical connection with the metal shell on both ends.
Step 2 Cut unterminated wires back. Insulate or ensure insulation from other conductors.
Step 3 Use the following illustrations and connection tables as a guide to creating your own cables:
Refer to Table A-1 when assembling an RS-232 console cable, and refer to Table A-2 when assembling an RS-232 auxiliary port cable.
