Cisco Console Connection
This six-foot cable links a USB Type-A port to an RJ-45 console port on Cisco networking equipment. Network engineers and system administrators use it for initial configuration, firmware updates and out-of-band management of routers, switches and firewalls. It is not suited for standard Ethernet data links or general-purpose USB peripherals.
250 Kbps Serial Rate
The adapter supports asynchronous serial communication at up to 250 Kbps, matching the console port speed of most Cisco hardware. Buyers needing higher-throughput network traffic or USB bulk-endpoint speeds should select a different interface.
Driver CD Included
A bundled driver disc and owner's manual simplify installation on Windows, Mac and Linux hosts where the FTDI or Prolific chipset is not already recognised. Users with modern kernels that include the driver in-tree gain no extra functionality from the disc.

Questions about this item
What does the 250 Kbps headline speed mean when I connect this cable to a Cisco console port?
The 250 Kbps ceiling matches the standard console baud rate used by Cisco routers and switches, so configuration sessions run at the device's native speed without throttling.
How does the USB Type-A to RJ45 interface limit what I can plug into?
The cable presents a USB Type-A connector to the computer and an RJ45 male end to the Cisco console port, so it only works with equipment that accepts a rollover-pinned RJ45 serial connection.
What physical space does the 6 ft length and connector size need to fit?
At 6 ft the cable reaches from a laptop on a bench to a rack-mounted console port, and the moulded USB Type-A and RJ45 plugs fit standard ports without adapters.
