Interface Card DeLOCK 63289

The DeLOCK 63289 is a USB Type-A to RJ-45 interface card designed to connect computers or laptops to devices with RJ-45 console ports. Based on the FTDI FT232RL chipset, the adapter provides a USB 2.0 connection and includes a 3 m cable. Its 256 B FIFO buffer supports stable serial communication, making it suitable for console access to routers, switches, access points and other compatible network equipment.

Advantages

The adapter converts a USB port to an RJ-45 console interface, facilitating direct serial access from a PC or laptop. Its FTDI FT232RL chipset offers broad driver support across common operating systems. The included 3 m cable and compact form factor simplify deployment at workstations and in rack environments. A 256 B FIFO buffer helps maintain reliable data transfer during configuration and monitoring tasks.

How to use

Connect the USB Type-A plug to an available USB port on your PC or laptop and attach the RJ-45 end to the console port of the network device. Install any required FTDI drivers if prompted by your operating system. Open a terminal application and configure the serial port settings (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits) to match the device’s console parameters. Use the terminal to perform configuration, monitoring, or troubleshooting operations.

Recommendations

For stable console sessions, ensure the correct serial settings and use the provided 3 m cable without additional passive extenders. Keep drivers up to date from FTDI when using newer operating system versions.
