DCE vs. DTE

[mesagreg]

I am ordering a 2621 router with a WIC-1T WAN interface card (DB60). In the past, for this configuration, we have ordered DTE cables with a V.35 end on them to interface with a channel bank. We have had a recent request to order cables with a DB-60 to RS-232 (DB25) female end for a different system.

In looking at Cisco's technical bulletins on cables, I notice that there is no DTE cable for RS-232. Further, the 2600 series router is not listed as one of the routers that can utilize the CAB-232FC cable.

Can we use this cable in the configuration described?

Thanks in advance,

Greg

You can still buy cab-V35MT cable and use gender changer for v.35 to RS232 25 pins to hook up DSU or another system with 25 pins connection.
