Network engineers and administrators

This USB Type-A to RJ45 console cable connects a laptop or desktop to the console port of routers, switches, firewalls and wireless LAN controllers. It replaces a legacy DB-9 or DB-25 serial port with a standard USB interface. Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 10, 11, XP, Mac OS, Linux and Android devices. The 1.8 m length suits bench and rack work.

Automatic driver installation

When the host computer has internet access and automatic updates enabled, the CH340 driver installs without manual steps. Gold-plated connector pins resist oxidation and maintain stable signal transmission over repeated insertions. The flat 8-core PVC jacket is soft and bend-resistant for frequent handling.

921.6 Kbps maximum baud rate

The cable supports a high-speed 921.6Kbps serial link for responsive configuration and debugging sessions. It works with Cisco, Juniper, Huawei and similar equipment that use an RJ45 console port, but is not compatible with the Huawei H3-S1500 series.

Questions about this item

Will the CH340 chip inside the cable need a firmware update or replacement later?

The CH340 chip is a fixed USB-to-serial bridge; it has no user-serviceable firmware and does not require replacement under normal use.

What baud-rate ceiling limits sustained console sessions?

The cable supports up to 921.6 Kbps, so that rate is the first throughput limit during continuous debugging.

Does the 150 V rating mean the cable gets hot or draws extra power during all-day router configuration?

The 150 V figure is an insulation rating, not operating voltage; the cable draws only milliamps from the USB port and stays cool during extended use.
