Cisco Console Cable 6ft – Serial Female to RJ45

The Cisco Console Cable (6ft) is a reliable serial connection cable designed for configuring and managing Cisco networking devices. Whether you’re setting up a router, switch, or firewall, this essential tool provides a secure, direct link between your computer and network hardware during initial setup, troubleshooting, or recovery.

Engineered for durability and compatibility, it ensures stable communication for command-line interface (CLI) access a must-have for network engineers and IT technicians.

Direct Device Management Made Simple

This console cable connects your PC or laptop’s serial port to the RJ45 console port on Cisco equipment. As a result, you can perform out-of-band management without relying on network connectivity.

For example, when a device has no IP address or fails to boot properly, this cable allows full access to the CLI for configuration changes, password resets, or firmware updates.

In addition, it supports terminal emulation software such as PuTTY, Tera Term, and HyperTerminal across Windows, Linux, and macOS environments.

Durable 6ft Length for Flexible Use

Measuring 6 feet (1.8 meters), this cable offers ample reach between your workstation and networking gear. Therefore, it works well in server racks, data closets, or lab setups where mobility matters.

The rugged design includes strain relief at both ends. This helps prevent damage from frequent plugging and unplugging.

Furthermore, the high-quality copper conductors ensure consistent signal transmission with minimal interference.

Trusted Compatibility with Cisco Devices

The cable features a DB9 female serial connector on one end and an RJ45 male connector on the other. It is fully compatible with a wide range of Cisco products, including:

• Switches: Catalyst 2960, 3560, 3750, 9200, 9300
• Routers: ISR 1900, 2900, 4000 series
• Firewalls: ASA 5500, 5585-X
• Wireless Controllers: 2504, 5520

Additionally, it works with most third-party USB-to-Serial adapters when connecting to modern laptops without native serial ports.
