Description

This 6 ft (approximately 1.8 m) console cable is an accessory for the Catalyst 4500 and 4500-X Series. It gives a management workstation a direct serial connection to the switch's RJ-45 console port, so a network engineer can configure or recover a switch without relying on the network itself.

Both ends are terminated with RJ-45 connectors and the cable follows the rollover console pattern. The 6 ft length is long enough to reach from a rack-mounted switch to a technician's laptop or a nearby console server while keeping the run tidy.

Cisco lists this part as an accessory in the Catalyst 4500-X ordering information, and the C4K in the part number points to the Catalyst 4500 family. It suits out-of-band management, initial setup and troubleshooting of those switches. Connecting a PC will usually need an RJ-45 to DB9 adapter or a USB-serial adapter, depending on the ports available on the workstation.

Enquire with XS Network Tech for new or used pricing and availability.
