Everything is fine with this cable except for two things: 1) My laptop didn't receive a USB device and didn't install any device drivers. I had to download and install them. For me it's not that important, for others maybe it is. 2) I'd like to see a slightly better RJ45 connector (or at least a look at the trunk to cover the clip). Definitely recommend to tech savvy people looking for a good Cisco console cable!
