Serial Connection Cable DeLOCK 64160 USB Type-A to RJ45 1m Black

This DeLOCK Serial Connection Cable (1 m) connects a computer USB 2.0 Type-A port to devices with an RS-232 console port using an RJ45 connector. It is designed for console control of network equipment such as CISCO routers, switches and access points and uses an FTDI-based chipset for reliable serial communication across different operating systems. The cable is black and measures 1 metre in length.

Advantages

The USB to RS-232 cable provides a direct, single-cable solution for console access without requiring a separate serial port. The FTDI chipset offers broad driver support and stable data transfer. Its 1 m length is suitable for desktop or rack-side configuration work, and the compact RJ45 serial connector fits standard console ports used on many network devices.

Suitable for

• Console configuration of CISCO routers and switches
• Access point and network device management via PC or laptop
• Serial communication when a native COM port is not available

How to use

Connect the USB Type-A plug to an available USB port on your PC or laptop and plug the RJ45 end into the console port of the target device. Install the appropriate FTDI drivers for your operating system if they are not already present. Use a terminal emulator (for example, PuTTY, Tera Term or similar) configured to the device's serial settings (commonly 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit) to establish a console session.

Recommendations

Verify the console port pinout of your network device before connecting and ensure you have the correct terminal settings. Avoid excessive bending near connectors and keep the cable clear of high-interference sources to maintain reliable communication.
