Tripp Lite's Token Ring Adapter Cables provide the connection from the station jack to the desktop network interface card. Constructed of 26 AWG stranded IBMT Type 6 wire, they provide the shielding and data integrity you expect, with a flexibility and ease-of-use needed in the office environment. These cables are built with the fine craftsmanship people have come to expect from Tripp Lite. The cable shield is soldered 360o from the shield of the wire to the connector shield. This cable has the IBM Data Connector on the station jack side and a DB9M to plug into the workstation.
