Serial Connection Cable DeLOCK 64159 USB Type-A to RS-232 RJ45 0.5m Black

The DeLOCK Serial Connection Cable (model 64159) features a USB 2.0 Type-A male connector on one end and an RS-232 RJ45 male connector on the other. The 0.5 m black cable uses an FTDI chipset to provide reliable serial communication between a PC or laptop and network equipment that supports serial console access.

Advantages

This cable provides a compact, ready-to-use connection for console control of routers, switches and access points. The FTDI chipset enhances driver compatibility and stable data transfer across common operating systems. Its 0.5 m length and Type-A to RJ45 RS-232 form factor make it suitable for close-proximity installations without excess cable clutter.

Suitable for

• Console access to CISCO routers and switches
• Connecting access points and other network devices with RS-232 RJ45 console ports

How to use

Connect the USB Type-A end to a PC or laptop and the RS-232 RJ45 end to the console port of the network device. Install any required FTDI drivers on the host system if they are not already present. Use terminal software (for example, a serial console application) configured with the device's required serial settings (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits) to access the console.

Recommendations

For reliable console sessions, ensure correct serial settings are configured in your terminal software and install the appropriate FTDI drivers for your operating system. Avoid excessive bending near connectors and keep the cable length appropriate for short-distance connections to reduce signal issues.
