Tech cable filter: What is the 100pin connector on cisco CABLE-24T1E1J1?
September 15, 2014 11:08 AM Subscribe
I am looking to build this cisco cable but at a much longer length than commercially available. While I have found the pin-out, I have been unable to find the connector and cable type used.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Its not rj21 that would be the 50 pin connector.
Can you post a photo of the pins? Its either a D-sub (of which there is a 100 pin) or a 100 pin SCSI and with a couple of pics I can tell you which and maybe find a link to buy...

There's probably a reason the cable isn't made as long as you want: many signals can't be carried very far. For example, USB max length is 5M and Ethernet is something like 100M. So before you try to make a longer cable, I'd check what the maximum length is allowed for that connection. Also, maybe they sell M-F versions you can use as extenders.

Thinking about it further it may be a 100 pin centronic connector.
Again pics would help but if not at least a description of the internals....
Is it pins or fingers on a block?
How many rows (if pins how many rows of pins - if blocks how many blocks and are there fingers on both sides)

Specs on that cable can be found here (search for the cable on that page). The 25-pin end looks like a standard AMP cable, as found here. Hard to tell what the other end is, is it one of these?

Oh, and as someone who has dealt with a lot of odd cables over the years, only if:
a) you know what you're doing
b) your time is cheap
should you attempt to build something like this yourself. Otherwise farm it out to a professional. I've always had excellent service from Stonewall Cable.
