Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this USB-C to RJ45 console cable work with my Cisco or Juniper router?

A: Yes! This cable is designed to work with the standard RJ45 console ports found on most major brand routers, switches, and firewalls — including those from Cisco, Juniper, HP/Aruba, and similar manufacturers. Simply connect the USB-C end to your laptop and the RJ45 end to the device's console port.

Q: Does this cable require drivers or special software to use?

A: This cable supports plug-and-play functionality on most modern operating systems via the built-in RS232 serial handshake protocol. However, some systems may require a terminal emulator (such as PuTTY or SecureCRT) to interact with the console session. Check your OS compatibility for driver requirements.

Q: What is the actual cable length, and is it long enough for rack-mount use?

A: The cable measures 150 cm (approximately 59 inches / just under 5 feet), which is typically sufficient for connecting a laptop sitting next to or near a network rack. Please note there may be a minor measuring deviation of 1–3 cm due to manual measurement.
