Wow, why not?  Does your employer make a habit of spending three times as
much as necessary?  :-)  Just kidding...

If that's the case, then go with the part numbers I gave you.  For the sake
of performance you'll want to go with the v.35 cables.

|  Do I even dare ask why you are allowed to use two regular cables but not
|  a back to back cable?
|  
|  Hmm... while writing that I just thought of one good reason.  Whenever
|  I order a back-to-back cable I usually get an RS-232 cable.  This would
|  tend to limit the clock rate between the two routers.  If I needed a
|  higher speed I'd have to find a V.35 back to back cable which seem to be
|  harder to find.
|  
|  If you want V.35:
|  
|  CAB-V35MT=
|  CAB-V35FC=
|      
|  If you want RS-232:
|  
|  CAB-232MT=
|  CAB-232FC=

|  I'm sorry to bring up this old old old
|  thread, but I'm in a situation where I
|  need a back to back cable for some 2501's,
|  but I'm not allowed to use a back to back
|  cable.
|  
|  There are two bona fide Cisco cables which
|  can be hooked together to make one back
|  to back cable (at three times the price
|  of a back to back).  Anybody know the
|  part numbers of the Cisco cables?  It's
|  for back to back on the WAN ports.
