Hi SSHSSH

 

 

Afraid not!

 

 

Quote from f5 "Important: The failover cable is used to physically connect the units in a redundant pair for hard-wired failover purposes. The serial cable is used for terminal connections to the serial port on F5 products. The two cables are not interchangeable."
