Hello,
Does anyone knows the pinout of the HP 1620-48G Switch console cable?
We need the information to fabricate one as the original cable was misplaced.
Kindly advise.
Thank you,

Hi,
I normally use RJ45 to VGA cable and I believe pin layout:

Hi banhien,
Thank you for your prompt reply.
I am trying to connect the RS232 serial port (DB-9) of my laptop to the console serial port (RJ-45) of the HP 1620-48G network switch. Will the RJ45 to VGA cable work here, given the different pinout?
Typically most network manufacturer will document the console port pinout in their product manuals, but I just cannot find such information in the HP 1620-48G network switch documentation. Correct me if I am wrong.
Best regards,
Teo, Keng Boon
