looking for a DB9 serial to usb cable for Cisco SG300-52P

[the_walrus]

I have a Cisco SG300-52P switch and I am looking for a DB9 serial to USB cable so that I can connect to the switch using the console port. Does anyone know of one that works.  I see several DB9 to RJ-45 but I am looking for one that goes directly to usb.  Does the chipset in the converter cable matter? (FTDI, or Prolific PL2303 chipsets)

Or am I looking at the wrong sort of thing and should I be looking for a USB to TTL serial adapter like this? USB to TTL Serial Adapter On Amazon  and just run the cables to the right pins on the console port on the switch?

Any advice is welcome.  Thank you

Hi,

Try this one:

@Reza Sharifi would just that db9 to usb cable work? because the console port on the back of the SG300 is a 9 pin serial connector. (as opposed to an RJ-45 connector)

[Reza Sharifi]

Yes, So, 9 pins serial side connects to the switch and USB to the laptop.

Once you connect the USB to the laptop, you should be able to see what com port it is using and adjust your terminal emulator to match it.
