USB 2.0 Console Cable for Network Gear

This EN-Labs cable links a USB 2.0 port on a computer to the RJ45 console port of a router or switch. The built-in FTDI FT232+ZT213 chipset handles the RS232 conversion so laptops without legacy serial ports can still configure network equipment. A six-foot blue rollover cable with a snagless RJ45 connector protects the tab during repeated insertions.

Replaces Legacy Serial Adapters

It replaces a traditional DB9 serial cable and separate USB-to-serial dongle by combining both functions in one cord. The jump is worth it when the management station lacks a native COM port or when a single cable reduces failure points in a field kit. No external power supply or driver disc is required on supported operating systems.

Fits Laptop-Based Field Kits

The cable draws power from the USB port and works with 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, macOS, Linux and Android, though Chrome OS is not supported. It frees up a bulky serial adapter and a separate rollover cable, leaving only this one cord to carry. Buyers who need an Ethernet data link instead of a console connection should choose a different product.
