Hello,
I would like to know if the DS256 cable is a must to hook up a BCM1000e expansion module on a BCM450?

What is the difference between the DS256 and a traditional network cable?

Thanks

SL
 
DS256 cable is shielded (metal connectors) plus it is 5 meters long so if you must/want to use a normal cable then use one that is the same distance or 15' to 17'.

Thanks for the fast response !
Nice to know that I don’t need to buy this cable.
They are kind of hard to find.

Cheers!
