Cisco Console Pinout (72-3383-01)

Converting Cyberpower's serial pinout to Cisco's

Hi folks,

I'm just getting some proper gear.. and stumbled upon the fact that my Cyberpower PDU81005 switched PDU uses a funny pin-out which is not compatible with my usual serial cable (they provide one) nor with my Opengear IM7200, which only supports Cisco Rolled X1 and Cisco Straight X2 pinouts..

Cable they provide is RJ45 custom pinout (PDU side) <-> DB9, but the Opengear IM7200 takes an RJ45, so I guess I need to find or make a RJ45 custom pinout <-> RJ45 X1/X2.. Anyone's got any ideas on how to go about it? I've never messed with those wire things.. but would really like to be able to control my PDU from my out-of-band management..

I understand how to punch down keystones on an RJ45 wire, but I don't know what the CTS/DSR/DTR/RTS pins should be wired to, given the Cyberpower only has TX/RX/GND.. Should I just buy an RJ45 cable, punch TX to TX, RX to RX, GND to GND, and leave CTS/DSR/DTR/RTS pins unplugged?

Thanks all..!

SOLVED: Cisco console cable to Sonicwall console cable
Great write up, but Im a little confused. so is this a keystone to standard RJ45 connector? is that what you mean by "jack"? is the idea you plug the RJ45 end of the Cisco console cable to the keystone end then plug the RJ45 connector into the sonicwall? More on reddit.com
