Go with the best and avoid the rest!
It's worth seeking out a quality cable like the ones made by tripplite. It may be tempting to purchase a cheap console cable on Amazon…but that cheap price delivers a substandard product. You receive a knockoff chipset and fragile aluminum wiring. When the job counts, You won't regret spending the extra on a product you can rely on.

This is a great product!!!
It's really easy to use. The driver is installed automatically on Windows10. It does require a restart though, which isn't really a big deal but might be an inconvenience if you are trying to use it for the first time during a maintenance window or something.

No issues so far, much better than some larger USB to console dongles I've used. Very nice to no have multiple plugs.

RJ45- Console cable
I was looking for a solution to connect the switch console to my laptop. Instead of doing it traditional way I found the very solution its USB to RJ45 for console connectivity for almost every network switch and routers we have. I really love this product and recommend that every Network Engineer should have one.

Good Product
Since it is so hard to find a computer with a serial port, this is very useful.
This works well and is very convenient.

Great Product; works perfectly
I understand that this is billed as a "Cisco-compatible" cable. Nevertheless, I took a chance on it working with my MOTOROLA modem's Ethernet port...and guess what? IT DOES!!! I couldn't be happier with this purchase. Once in a while, things work out perfectly, and this is one of those times. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Simple but elegant device.
I knew one day I would have to retire my old Prolific USB to RS232 Interface. When I got the above unit I was skeptical, but that skepticism turned to joy when this unit lived up to its plug-and-play action. It look me longer to configure Putty than it did to configure this device in Windows 10. The only issue I had was there was no drivers CD as mentioned in the instructions . No worries . I just downloaded them from the Tripplite website - and the rest was history. Tripplite's products speak for themselves

I would buy this product again and refer to friends and buy
Upon testing the USB to RJ45 Cisco rollover cable, I found it to be a reliable and convenient tool for managing Cisco devices. The following are the key aspects of the product that I evaluated:
Compatibility: The cable was compatible with various Cisco networking devices, including routers, switches, and firewalls. It worked seamlessly with Cisco devices that required a rollover or console connection, allowing me to establish a reliable connection for configuration and monitoring purposes.
Quality: The build quality of the cable was impressive. It was well-constructed with durable materials and had sturdy connectors that fit securely into the USB and console ports without any loose connections. The cable was also properly shielded to minimize signal loss or interference during data transmission.
Functionality: The cable performed as expected, providing a stable and fast connection between my computer and the Cisco device's console port. It supported the required data transfer speeds and network protocols, allowing me to execute various configuration commands and monitor the device's output without any issues.
Ease of use: The cable was easy to install and use. It came with clear markings and labels on both ends, indicating the USB and console connectors, making it easy to identify and connect to the appropriate ports. The cable length was adequate, and its flexibility allowed me to position it conveniently in my networking setup.
