Hello,
It is a Serial Null modem DB9 cable
Connect the Null Modem DB9 cable from the management station’s serial port to the managed system’s external serial connector.
Should be a standard crossover, or null modem, cable.

That all works good for the DELL R640 and my final question is does the DELL R650 have a console option

@DELL-Erman O Perfect seems they didnt realise this Console port was an optional extra on the R650's and didnt order them, thanks for the information
