Review on πŸ”Œ 6 Feet Cable Matters USB C to RJ45 Console Cable for Windows and MacBook Pro – Compatible Cisco Console Cable, Rollover Cable with FTDI by Dan Chunn

Revainrating 5 out of 5

If you need to connect to serial console.

Required for use with new USB-C laptops if your function requires easy access to serial consoles on routers, switches, etc. If you know what that is, you need one. NOTE: For those who do NOT know what this is. This is a USB-C to RS232-RJ45 adapter. This is NOT a USB-C to Ethernet adapter. Yes, both use RJ45. No, they are not interchangeable. Ethernet adapters are available, but this is not one.

Pros
  • Reverse USB-C cable connects directly to a router, switch, server or wireless access point for console port configuration; Connect this switch console cable directly instead of using an adapter cable. Software hardware with no network or internet connection
Cons
  • Large and bulky
