This convenient serial to USB to RS232 console cable enables you to connect your PC directly to the console port of your Cisco or similar router.

• Two cables in one! Less clutter in your network tool bag!
• Combines a USB to serial/RS232 converter and a console 'rollover' cable for Cisco routers
• Configure your router with just one cable, direct from a USB port
  
• Length approx 1.7m/5ft 6ins (if required, you can add a USB extension cable up to a total of 5m long)
• Maximum RS232 speed 500kbaud
  
• USB 2.0 (1.1 compatible)

One end of the cable has an RJ45 8 pin modular jack plug which connects to the serial/RS232 console port on your router. The other end has a USB plug which connects to the PC's USB port. The cable contains a USB to serial converter, so appears as a COM port on the PC.

Only for use with equipment with a serial/RS232 RJ45 console port, not for equipment already equipped with USB.
