Description

This Cisco console cable has a USB Type-A connector on one end and a USB mini-B connector on the other, with a length of 6 ft (1.83 m). It is used for out-of-band console management and initial configuration of Cisco switches and routers that have a USB mini-B console port.

Plug the Type-A end into a PC's USB port and the mini-B end into the console port on the device to reach the command line interface. The cable is bus-powered through the USB connection, so no separate power supply is needed.

It is listed as the USB console cable option for Catalyst 2960-X and 2960-XR Series switches, alongside CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 for the RJ-45 console port. A USB console driver may be required on some Windows PCs.

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