In a modern data center environment there are many types of equipment with different requirements in terms of shape and 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) and RS-232 on RJ-45 connectors as used by Cyclades, Sun, Cisco and other vendors.

All of Cyclades' cables and adapters are compatible with RJ-45 wiring installations as used in data centers today and are designed to fit the standard console ports of servers, network equipment, modems and infrastructure equipment such as HVAC and UPS.
