### RJ-45 Universal Terminal/Printer Cable

Using an 8-pin RJ-45 plug, the following cable wiring supports most serial terminals or printers with either software or hardware handshaking. This cable is valid with any EtherLite or SCSI Terminal Server RJ-45 serial port.

Most terminals and printers use Data Terminal Ready (DTR) for Ready/Busy hardware handshaking. The cable shown supports this method.
