VeriFone Purple Multiport Ethernet Switch Cable

The VeriFone 24173-02-R is a purple multiport Ethernet switch cable designed for card-reader deployments. It connects compatible VeriFone magnetic stripe card readers to a network switch or router in retail and hospitality environments.

Purple colour and multiport switch design

The cable weighs approximately 10.40 oz and is manufactured in Taiwan. Its purple jacket aids quick visual identification in crowded cable runs. The integrated multiport switch allows a single network drop to serve multiple MX860 or MX870 card readers without an extra external switch.

Check reader model and network port availability

Verify that the installed card readers are MX860 or MX870 models before ordering. Ensure the target network switch or router has a free Ethernet port for the uplink connection. This cable is not intended for general-purpose PC or printer networking.

Questions about this item

What Ethernet standard does the multiport switch cable use, and what speed does it cap at?

The cable carries standard Ethernet signalling to the MX860 and MX870 card readers; the practical speed limit is set by the reader's own port, not by the cable itself.

What physical connectors and clearance does the 24173-02-R need to fit the VeriFone MX860 or MX870?

It plugs directly into the reader's multiport socket; the purple jacket adds no bulk beyond the standard connector, so no extra clearance is required.

How is the cable installed on the MX860 or MX870, and what step do installers often miss?

Align the keyed plug with the reader's multiport socket and press firmly until it clicks; the step often missed is verifying the latch is fully seated so the link stays up.
