UNIX Serial Port Resources Serial Port & Cable Pinouts
This content was originally created, collected, and maintained by Stokely Consulting.
It has moved to SunHELP as of May 2005, send all updates to Bill Bradford.
Port voltage:
Many Sun cpu serial ports can be configured as either RS-232 (+/- 12V) or RS-423 (+/- 5V). Defaults vary. See the hardware
documentation for your machine to locate the jumper to configure this, if it exists. Most implementations do not have to worry
about the voltage on the serial port.
Port splitter cable:
Many Suns need a Y-cable to split the A/B Serial Port into the 2 different devices. Different Suns use different splitter cables for
this purpose. Some Suns use small, round Mini DIN8 connectors that require an adapter to connect to a DB25 device, like a
modem or terminal. Pinouts are shown below.

Comments on cable vendors:
Cables To Go has a huge number of cables, including Sun serial splitter cables. Good Cable Configurator and Connector Guide
with excellent pictures. Our readers are impressed with the companys tech support.
PCCables.com has a good online catalog, and several Sun cables. Good cable and connector pictures. They have some very
handy, inexpensive RJ45-DB9/DB25 adapters. These are often used for serial devices and have all wires ready to be pushed into
the appropriate spot on the DB9/DB25 connector.
ShowMeCables has a large selection of many different kinds of cables.
SunStore (800) SUN-0404, is very knowledgeable and will ship your order for stock cables quickly.
Ultra Spec Cables (800) 622-2537, seems to carry most or all of these cables, at reasonable prices. There have been some
customer service problems with Ultra Spec, but they seem to be working this out. Check your order carefully.
Network Technologies Inc. makes switches, splitters and extension cables for Sun, PC and MAC machines.
Sun ELC and SLC CPU serial ports:[Pin ID]

The Sun part number is for the ELC serial port splitter cable is X985Q. The SLC serial port splitter cable is Sun part # 530-1667.

Netra X1, 1280, t1 Model 105/AC200/DC200, Sun Fire V100/ V120/ V480/ V1280: [Pin ID] These machines have RJ45

Sun InfoDoc 47436, available via login to contract

customers only, at sunsolve.sun.com has a bit more
information on setting up a modem for the V100/V120.
On the Netra X1 and Sun Fire V100, Port A LOM is dedicated to the Lights Out Management (LOM) device in the server. The
Netra 1280/Sun Fire V1280 machines reserve port B for some non-user use. Only use port A.
One of this sites readers says that the Cisco Modem RJ45 DB25 adapter works just fine as a replacement for the Sun adapter
with a terminal on the console port of an X1. It probably works well with the other systems listed in this section, too. The Cisco
adapter is light grey, embossed with MODEM CAB-5MODCM on one side and 29-0881-01 on the other.
RJ45 DB25 RS232 serial converter cable, RJ45 DB9 serial cable: Below are pinouts for an RJ45 DB25 RS232 serial
converter cable, part number 530-2889-01 and a RJ45 DB9 serial cable, part number 530-3100-xx. (There is also an unknown
part number which has the same pinout except that the RJ45 BODY (black) is wired to RS232 pin 1 GND.)
Note that these are wired DCE. If you use the supplied RJ45 to DB25 RS232 adapter, you get a null-modem cable, suitable for a
terminal connection.

well as the V440. Its not just for the V100.)
Check the signal names and pin numbers for the port on your Annex model, because the pinouts vary. Match the signal names to

Sun IPC and IPX CPU serial ports: [Pin ID]

Sun no longer sells the serial DIN8 to DB25 serial cable part. Its available for about US$28 from Ultra Spec Cables.

Macintosh serial cables may also work for terminal connections (if lines 2 and 3 are crossed, as in a null-modem cable), but
not for modem connections, since the Macintosh cable has no DCD line. There are several different Mac modem cables, so
check that the pinout matches what you need.
Note that DB25 pin 6, 15, 22, 24, and 25 are not supported on the Sun serial port adapter cable. The left pinout below is taken
from the SPARCstation IPC Installation Guide.
