About the Cisco CAB-HD4-232FC Cisco cable / stacking cable
The Cisco CAB-HD4-232FC serial fan-out cable features a High-Density DB-60 (HD-60) router-side connector that terminates to 4 x DB-25 Female connectors, enabling efficient rack cable management and a compact footprint in data centre environments. This factory pre-terminated cable eliminates on-site assembly delays and delivers reliable point-to-point connectivity for legacy serial infrastructure integrated into modern Cisco routing platforms.
The CAB-HD4-232FC is a purpose-built serial fan-out cable that converts a single HD-60 interface into 4 independent RS-232 (EIA/TIA-232) serial ports, each supporting synchronous and asynchronous signalling via DCE (Data Communications Equipment) configuration. Network engineers and IT infrastructure teams leverage this cable to connect multiple serial devices—such as modems, terminal servers, and out-of-band management systems—to a single Cisco router port. The 4-port architecture reduces panel clutter whilst maintaining electrical isolation and signal integrity across all channels. Cisco engineered this cable for the 2600, 2800, 3600, and 3800 series routers, as well as Cisco ISR platforms equipped with HD-60 serial WIC/NM interface cards including the WIC-4T, NM-4T, and NM-8T modules.
Typical Serial Network Deployments
- Out-of-band device management and console access for routers, switches, and security appliances across distributed sites
- Legacy serial device integration (modems, multiplexers, serial printers) into modern Cisco ISR and branch router infrastructures
- Multi-channel asynchronous terminal server connectivity for network operations centres requiring simultaneous access to multiple devices
- Serial data acquisition and SCADA system connectivity in industrial and utility network environments
- Redundant serial signalling paths for critical infrastructure monitoring and alarm reporting systems
