Called HP support, they say we don't support these question.

Strange !!!

HP A-series switches use a Rollover type cable for console access.

 

Pin 1 mapped to Pin 8, Pin 2 to Pin 7, etc etc.

Hi Bsad,

It's a bit of a shame that support are so dismissive about such questions. The cables are interchangeable with Cisco console cables, so a reference like http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps332/products_tech_note09186a0080094ce6.shtml should give you the information you need. (They're also interchangeable with Juniper and Mikrotik RJ45 console cables, in my experience.) As David said, you're looking for the "rollover" versions.
Regards,
Paul
