Option 11 Relocating Console 25 feet away - PBX Info :: Your Free PBX, PABX and Telephone Information Resource

What kind of cable would I need to relocate the console 20 ft away from the phone system? Is it a standard serial cable? Is there any special pin out I should be aware of.

Your best bet is to run a new 25 pair cable to the new console with a female adapter from a terminal (TN) on your MDF and kill the old connection (unless the old connection will reach).

You newly wiring a standard serial cable(RS-232). Or the following products can also be chosen.

When using this product, it is necessary to change into 9 pins (Dsub) from 25 pins.

thank you for the replies!

if its just a regular serical RS232 cable can I use (2) DB25 Male to RJ45 Modular Adapter and a Cat5 cable? Has anyone done this before? Is there a distance limitation I sould be aware of? and I am assuming the cable would be a strait thru?
