Does anybody know the name of the weird RJ-45ish connector that some
nortel gear uses for an apparent serial console connection? At first I
wasn't sure it was a serial port, but there appear to be RS-232 driver
chips on the board, so I assume it is.
Basically, the jack is shaped like an RJ-45, but rather than having
standard RJ-style pins that bend back when a plug is inserted, it uses
header-style pins that stick straight out at you from the back of the
jack (6 of them to be exact), plus two contacts on the bottom that it
looks like something would slide against (probably the ground
connection for the cable shield)
What is this called, and does anybody know what the normal pinout is,
or if there's an adapter cable that would go to a PC style 9-pin
connector?
The equipment in question is an NT7E24 operations controller for an
FDN600 optical add-drop mux. But I bet other systems use it as well. If
anybody is familiar with the FDN600 please reply also, I have some
questions about it.
