RJ45 to RS232 DB9 Console Cable

This Hitoor cable links an RJ45 console port on a router or switch to a DB9 RS232 serial port on a PC. It provides bi-directional transparent transmission between serial and network data. The 1.5 metre black cable suits engineers updating device settings or managing underlayer operations. It targets network administrators who need a direct console connection.

Check your PC serial port and device console port

Verify that the computer you will use still has a physical DB9 9-pin serial port. Many modern laptops omit this connector and require a separate USB-to-serial adapter. Confirm the target router or switch presents an RJ45 console port rather than a USB or mini-USB console. The cable is specified as compatible with up to 95 percent of switches and routers on the market.

Shielded copper construction for clean signals

Oxygen-free copper conductors and double shielding protect the link from electromagnetic interference during configuration sessions. The 1.5 metre length keeps the workstation within reach of rack-mounted gear without excess slack. The moulded connectors are rated for repeated mating cycles in lab or field use. No external power supply is required for the passive cable.

Questions about this item

Does the cable come with any adapters or drivers, or must I buy a USB-to-serial adapter separately?

The cable has a DB9 female connector on one end and an RJ45 female connector on the other. If your computer lacks a 9-pin serial port, a USB-to-serial adapter is required and is not included.

The description mentions 95% router and switch compatibility — how do I know if my Cisco model is covered?

The cable is built to the rollover pinout used by Cisco console ports on switches, routers, firewalls and wireless gear both new and old. Check that your device has a standard RJ45 console port.

What does the 1.5 m length mean for rack-to-desk console sessions?

At 1.5 metres the cable reaches from a typical rack-mounted console port to a nearby laptop or crash cart without excess slack, keeping the work area tidy during configuration.
