What is a rollover cable?
You should use a rollover cable to connect to the console port on any Cisco device. The pin configuration for a rollover cable is easy to remember because of the cable name. The cable pin configuration is “rolled over” so that pin 1 on end 1 matches pin 8 on end 2, pin 2 on end 1 matches pin 7 on end 2, and so on, until a complete reversal is made. In other words, the wires are in reverse order on opposite ends.
