USB-C Cisco Console Cable, 6ft USB Type C to RJ45 Serial Adapter Essential Accessory of Cisco, NETGEAR, Ubiquity, LINKSYS, TP-Link Routers/Switches for Laptops

I purchased "OIKWAN USB-C Cisco Console Cable, 6ft USB Type C to RJ45 Serial Adapter Essential Accessory of Cisco, NETGEAR, Ubiquity, LINKSYS, TP-Link Routers/Switches for Laptops" for £12.99 in the USB-C 1.8m option. Functionality This console cable does exactly what its meant to. A lot of modern laptops don't come with anything but USB C anymore, so getting a console cable that's USB C means I don't have to faff around with adapters anymore when I'm in a pinch. Compatibility I can confirm this is compatible on W10 and W11. All you need to do is install the correct driver; I've used the VPC driver from ftdichip (dot) com for years. The driver works on Windows and MAC so this product will too! Quality The product is durable and both ends have survived being stuffed into ports and rammed into bags with no issue. Connectivity This console cable will work with any device that has an RJ-45 style console port. I've used it on Cisco, Juniper and Palo Alto kit to name a few. Speed This console cable will work at whatever speed the connecting devices supported baud rate is. Ease of Installation This product needs a FTDI driver that does not come with the product. I have used the VPC driver from ftdichip (dot) com for years.

Can't fault it - works perfectly with my Ubiquiti EdgeRouters.

This was an excellent purchase that worked perfectly first time and helped me to regain root access to reconfigure a 2nd hand enterprise switch for a homelab.

Cable ok, and I can see the console but didn't manage to work out how to set up the hardware

Simply does the job.

DoA. Dead on Arrival, zero activity, no light, no connection with anything (and yes, using as a console cable, so it should've been compatible but it still wasn't compatible, and wasn't about speed yet or just slow as I tried for ages) Not sure if I just got a faulty one or if they're often like that but it isn't worth the money or the hassle of trying to get an exchange by sending back and getting a new one. Was hard to use when it should've been simple.

Does not work.. money waste

Didn’t work need to return it

Fonctionne comme prévu sur un switch tplink. Installer les drivers au préalable. Ras. Bon produit

Why I bought it: My laptop only has USB-C ports (no USB-A), so I needed this adapter to connect to Cisco equipment for console access. This cable solved that problem immediately. Compatibility: Works seamlessly with Cisco devices - no driver issues or compatibility problems. Plug and play right out of the box. Quality: The cable feels sturdy and well-made. The connectors are solid, and the cable itself doesn't feel flimsy or cheap. The 6ft length gives me enough reach to work comfortably without excess cable getting in the way. Ease of use: Literally plug it in and it works. No complicated setup, no software to install, no troubleshooting required. It's as straightforward as a cable can get. Value for money: Considering how essential this cable is for anyone doing network configuration work with modern USB-C laptops, the price is very reasonable. Much cheaper than dealing with dongles and adapters, and it just works reliably every time. Bottom line: If you have a modern laptop with only USB-C ports and need to console into network equipment, this is a must-have tool. It does exactly what it's supposed to do with no fuss. Sometimes the best review is simply: it works. Recommended for IT professionals making the switch to USB-C only devices.

Works flawlessly on my surface laptop. It does need driver to be downloaded but no issues so far.

Aucune reconnaissance depuis un smartphone/tablette ; l'ordinateur portable a identifié une connexion depuis un port USB-C, mais sans interface avec l'appareil appairé (routeur) malgré le téléchargement des derniers pilotes et le suivi des instructions du fabricant. Inexploitable !

Good quality no issues easy conmected
