USB to RJ45 Cable for Console?

[tronic72]

Does Cisco, or anyone else do a cable that will allow me to connect my USB only laptop to a console port on a Cisco device?

Thanks

Just do a google search for 'USB Serial' and you will find a lot of different models.

Here is one:

Was hoping there might be an All-in-one.....USB to RJ45 cable. I'm aware of the Serial to USB adapters

Thanks again.

This type of cable is made but they are few and far between.  If there is still interest in in them please let me know.

It's similar to the product I pointed out before. Yes, it should work with Cisco devices.

I decided to make one of my own - see http://www.get-console.com/shop/en/18-usb-to-serial-cables

Embedded USB to RS232 chip in the USB housing and has native drivers for OSX, Win7 and Win8. RJ45 end pinned out for Cisco serial console port.

Cheers
