@lea TBH, I think it's a fundamental mistake that vendors use #RJ45/ #8p8c connectors for #RS232.

They should've either used "#RJ50" / "#RJ48" / #10p10c or use #USB over #4p4c or #RS485 over a #2p2c connector instead just to make shure that people don't mistake that #serial port for a #Managment-#NIC.
Unless it actually is an #Ethernet port.

@[email protected] but serial over rj45 is amazing, then i can patch it through to my desk instead of going down to the network closet

Ok, screw you APC, I won't buy an overprice cable just because you thought i'd be funny to put USB signals at the border of a 10-pin (yes, 10, not 8) RJ connector.
