Interface Card DeLOCK 63308

The DeLOCK 63308 is a USB 2.0 to RS-232 interface adapter card designed for console control of network equipment. It uses the FTDI FT232RL chipset, supports a 256 B FIFO buffer and provides a data transfer rate of 0.0002304 Gbit/s. The adapter comes with a 5 m cable and a grey housing, and is supplied in a polybag.

Advantages

The adapter provides a standard USB 2.0 connection to RS-232 serial ports via the reliable FTDI FT232RL chipset, ensuring broad driver support and stable communication. A 256 B FIFO buffer smooths data flow during burst transmissions, while the 5 m cable length offers flexibility when connecting PCs or laptops to network devices. Its compact grey design and polybag packaging simplify storage and handling.

Suitable for

• Console control of Cisco routers, switches and access points
• Connecting laptops or PCs to RS-232 serial devices for configuration or monitoring
• Field service and network maintenance where a longer cable is required

How to use

Install any required FTDI drivers on the PC or laptop if the operating system does not automatically recognise the FT232RL chipset. Connect the USB end of the DeLOCK 63308 to an available USB port and the RS-232 end to the console port of the network device. Open your terminal or console software, select the appropriate COM port and configure serial parameters (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits) according to the equipment manufacturer’s settings.

Recommendations

For reliable console sessions, confirm correct serial settings for the target device (for many Cisco devices: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit). Use the 5 m cable to position your laptop at a comfortable distance from rack equipment and avoid excessive cable bending to preserve signal integrity.
