Use twisted-pair wire with an impedance between 85 and 115 ohms.
Make sure that the maximum twisted-pair link length from the system

Cable Pinouts
Management connections may be established with a direct cable link to a
PC-AT serial port, or via modem. The following tables detail cable pinouts
for 9 and 25 pin PC-AT links, and for a modem connection.
CoreBuilder 7000 Serial Port
The CoreBuilder 7000 provides a standard DB-9 connector for
management connections (refer to Figure 17). Table 31 details the pinout
and functions for this connector. The CoreBuilder 7000 plays the standard
role of a DCE.
