I'm tearing my hair out trying to find the right part number for a serial cable from a Cisco 805 Serial Router to a BT Kilostream box.

I know it's a male X.21 interface on the Kilostream end but 3 cables I've been sent have the wrong connector for the Cisco box.

It has a mini 26pin female connector on it...

Anyone know which cable I need?

Need one by wed 9am.

 

Chris,

 

the link shows the cable part numbers

but i think you need this one

 

DTE X.21 Male CAB-SS-X21MT

 

which assumes you have the standard cisco serial port.

Sorry did'nt spot this yesterday, and I Don't have a part number, but it is called a high density serial connector, it is a blue cable, intelligent as this auto senses everything, protocol etc.

If you still need a part number let me know.

 

If you are in London I have a spare one in the office.

Craig's part number is correct I have been assured (again!).

I asked my supplier to send the cable with it but they obviously knew sod all about the Cisco stuff and just sent me the standard serial one not the high density jobbie.

I'm assured one will be with my customer tomorrow for when I arrive.

If I drive from Leeds to Nottingham to install this router and find they've made another cock up I will not be happy!

Thanks chaps!

 

The cables they have sent me incorrectly had the same part number without the SS in the middle. Why they sent it wrong 3 times is amazing...
