Wiring Guide

Here is the wiring guide with the colors and which slots they go into. It's the same whether the faceplate is male or female. I've seen a few wirings done on adapters slightly differently, but I've tested all of these wiring guides and they've all worked flawlessly for me.

Paul Lessard (Paul . LessardJr at orhs dot org) has emailed me the pinout for the DB-9 and DB-25 Cisco rollover pinouts. He has tested the DB-9, but not the DB-25. Thanks Paul!
