USB-C Console Cable 2pack, USB C to RJ45 Console Cable for Cisco Routers/AP Router/Switch/Windows Linux Mac OS

Why I bought it: My laptop only has USB-C ports (no USB-A), so I needed this adapter to connect to Cisco equipment for console access. This cable solved that problem immediately. Compatibility: Works seamlessly with Cisco devices - no driver issues or compatibility problems. Plug and play right out of the box. Quality: The cable feels sturdy and well-made. The connectors are solid, and the cable itself doesn't feel flimsy or cheap. The 6ft length gives me enough reach to work comfortably without excess cable getting in the way. Ease of use: Literally plug it in and it works. No complicated setup, no software to install, no troubleshooting required. It's as straightforward as a cable can get. Value for money: Considering how essential this cable is for anyone doing network configuration work with modern USB-C laptops, the price is very reasonable. Much cheaper than dealing with dongles and adapters, and it just works reliably every time. Bottom line: If you have a modern laptop with only USB-C ports and need to console into network equipment, this is a must-have tool. It does exactly what it's supposed to do with no fuss. Sometimes the best review is simply: it works. Recommended for IT professionals making the switch to USB-C only devices.

After updating the firmware on my OC200 TP-Link SD Network controller, an older TP-Link managed switch that had previously been adopted by that controller, could not be adopted. Tried the default admin/admin but no luck. TP-Link managed switches do not have the little reset button that you press with a paperclip thru the tiny hole on the back of the case. If you can't factory-reset the switch, it's a brick. This handy cable, along with the suggested Tera Term 5 SSH client (I hear putty will work too but didn't try it), got me in and factory reset the switch in literally 30 seconds using an old Win10 laptop. PCs and laptops haven't come with 9-pin serial ports for many years now. Most tech enthusiasts keep at least an old laptop with a serial port around for exactly this scenario. I got rid of mine years ago. So when this scenario happened, I was out of luck. This cable is one of those "If you need it, you need it" type things. For how cheap it is, it's a good thing to keep around. It just worked, no drivers necessary.

Arrived on time, works as described.

Works as expected, thanks

In use. As expected.

Got this to use with a Jupiter SRX-300 firewall and it works great. The flat cable makes it easy to make sure the cable is not getting too twisted up and 10ft is plenty long to reach from the rack to a laptop.

This thing has saved my butt so many times, I'm back to buy a second so I have an extra! Never had a problem, and always ends up being used in particularly hairy situations where I don't have time to troubleshoot a cable.

Funciona perfecto.

Works flawlessly on my surface laptop. It does need driver to be downloaded but no issues so far.

Aucune reconnaissance depuis un smartphone/tablette ; l'ordinateur portable a identifié une connexion depuis un port USB-C, mais sans interface avec l'appareil appairé (routeur) malgré le téléchargement des derniers pilotes et le suivi des instructions du fabricant. Inexploitable !

Je n'en ai pas eu besoin, je l'avais prévu pour connecter un dongle du compteur électrique vers l'éthernet mais avec la wi-fi c'était bon. mais la qualité et l'utilité sont ok. Merci.

Works great (driverless). Great build quality. Long enough for typical professional applications in the field.

works without needing any drivers on my macbook air. having direct usb c interface is very useful. CLI with cisco devices is working without any problems...
