Cat 9300 bit confused on the back - it has console and mgmt connection make sure you connected the right port
here is the console serial settings - change the COM and SPEED ( default 9600 should work)

Hello
In device manager of the pc check the com port you are using is defiantly correct

Dear all,
Thank you for your attempt to help me. Just to let you know I got another cable from local store and that is working without any driver. no change in setting.
Seems my old cables are either not compatible with Cisco or some driver issue is there.
Old Cable is wch.cn make (not working one)
New Cale is FDTI (working one)

I too bought this same cable earlier this week from Newegg and received yesterday and had no success with it.
Of course the seller listed it as FTDI and compatible with Cisco which I realize now was fluff.
It's bad enough the listing didn't list the needed driver for this CH341SER but after installing it and trying every Putty Serial configuration to no avail, I read up on this some more found that these are likely Chinese knock off FTDI simulated chips that the Scottish FTDI brand had been fighting against. It's no wonder these specific cables don't work. I'm definitely filing for a refund on this, and just going to order me the USB converter piece for the included RJ45-serial cable.

sure suggest buying a properly certified vendor rather than wasting time. ( that is the reason cisco ship 1 cable always with the device) - but the new cable comes with USB.
