Cisco Console Rollover Adapter

This compact adapter converts a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable into a Cisco console rollover cable. It features one RJ45 female connector and one RJ45 male connector, allowing immediate use with existing patch cables. The device conforms to the Yost Serial Device Wiring Standard for reliable serial communication. Its blue PVC jacket provides easy visual identification in dense networking racks.

Network engineers managing Cisco equipment

Technicians who frequently configure routers, switches or firewalls via console ports will appreciate the convenience of carrying one small adapter instead of a dedicated rollover cable. It is not suited for users who need a straight-through Ethernet coupler for data networking, as the pinout is reversed for serial console access. Buyers requiring longer reach should note the adapter adds no cable length itself.

Portable console access solution

The adapter comfortably handles direct connection to a Cisco console port from a standard patch lead, eliminating the need for a separate proprietary cable. Its lightweight design at 0.42 oz adds negligible bulk to a laptop bag or toolkit. It runs out when the attached Ethernet cable reaches its own length limit or when a USB console interface is required instead of RJ45 serial.
