Twisted-Pair – Rollover Cable<br />

A rollover cable is used to connect a workstation or laptop into a <strong>Cisco</strong><br />

device’s console or auxiliary port, for management purposes. A rollover<br />

cable is often referred to as a console cable, and its sheathing is usually flat<br />

and light-blue in color.<br />

To create a rollover cable, the pins are completely reversed on one end of the<br />

cable:<br />
