The serial console on most generic x86 computers and smart devices is a DB9M DTE connector. So they can be attached to a serial port on an Opengear console server with Opengear classic pinout using standard UTP Cat 5 cable terminated in a #319001 (DB9F DCE). Similarly they can connect to an Opengear console server with Cisco pinout using standard UTP Cat 5 cable terminated in a #319015 adapter.
