Network Console Cable 10ft

This USB-to-RJ45 console cable connects a laptop or PC directly to the management port of routers, switches and firewalls. It replaces legacy DB-9 or DB-25 serial links so network engineers can configure devices without carrying separate adapters. The 10ft length gives comfortable reach between rack-mounted gear and a workstation.

Legacy Port Replacement

The cable eliminates the need for DB-9 or DB-25 connectors and gender changers by presenting a standard USB 2.0 interface to the host. It is worth adopting when a machine lacks a native COM port or when juggling multiple serial adapters slows down field work. Chrome OS is not supported, while 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, Mac and Linux systems are.

Configuration Headroom

The link supports a maximum RS232 signalling rate of 500kbaud, which is sufficient for CLI configuration, firmware uploads and diagnostic sessions on Cisco, Juniper, NETGEAR, Ubiquiti, Linksys, TP-Link, Huawei, H3C, HP and 3Com equipment. It is not an Ethernet cable and cannot carry production network traffic.

Questions about this item

What console port does the 10ft RJ45 connector fit?

The RJ45 plug inserts directly into the standard console port on Cisco, Juniper, NETGEAR, Ubiquity, LINKSYS, TP-Link, Huawei, H3C, HP and 3Com routers, switches or firewalls.

Which driver step is often missed when installing the cable on Windows?

After plugging the USB 2.0 end into the laptop, install the FTDI or Prolific virtual COM-port driver so the OS creates a COM port; without it the device appears but no terminal session opens.

When should the cable be replaced if the RJ45 latch feels loose?

Replace the cable once the RJ45 latch no longer clicks securely into the console port, because intermittent contact will drop configuration sessions.
