Cisco Compatible Console Cable DB9 Female to RJ45 Male Baby Blue 6 ft - 72-3383-01

On the back (and sometimes front) of Cisco routers, switches, firewalls, and other devices you'll find a baby-blue RJ45 female jack labelled "CONSOLE". This serial port enables you to configure the router at the command prompt level. The 9-PIN serial female end of the cable connects to the serial port of a PC. Beware though, not all laptops and PC's come with 9-PIN serial ports anymore. If this is the case for you, please see our listing for the Keyspan USB to Serial converter in addition to this cable. The Keyspan USA-19HS is the only USB to Serial converter we've tested that works with all functions for Cisco console management. Also see Cisco Compatible Console Cable and USB to Serial Adapter (kit).
