Description

This Cisco USB console cable is a 1.8 m (6 ft) host-to-console management cable with a USB Type-A connector on the PC end and a USB mini-B connector on the device end. It suits engineers and network administrators who need local access to the console port of compatible Cisco industrial networking equipment.

The USB 2.0 interface lets a laptop or PC without a native serial port reach the device console over USB. The cable is bus-powered through the USB connection, so no separate power supply is needed. Depending on the host operating system, a USB-to-serial driver may be required before the console session will open.

Typical uses include initial configuration, password recovery and troubleshooting of Cisco industrial routers and switches that provide a USB mini-B console port. The 6 ft length gives enough reach to work from a laptop beside a cabinet or rack.

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