Works well with the Firewalla Gold Console Port

I bought this for my Firewalla Gold device with built in RJ45 console port. Firewalla suggests using a baud rate of 151200 bps, but I was only able to get a reliable connection with this cable at a baud rate of 9600 bps. As this is my only USB to RJ45 console cable I'm not sure if it's the cable or the Firewalla Gold but I suspect it could be a combination of the two hence the 4 star rating. Overall, however, 9600 bps is still enough to access an external terminal considering I rarely need to connect anyway. screen to make it work with my Firewalla Gold. Also, it works great and I think that's what the firewalla hardware dictates, so I'm bumping it up to 5*.

Pros

. The unhooked Cisco male-to-male console cable provides a convenient solution for configuring console port devices; The non-stick RJ45 connector prevents the tab from loosening and getting stuck in the console port.
