## Description

This durable Cisco Console Rollover Adapter is a compact solution for converting Ethernet cable into a Rollover cable (Cisco Console Cable).The adapter conforms to the Yost Serial Device Wiring Standard..

Review: Works good for console access using standard cat5 - These work great - its easy way to be able to use standard Cat% network cables to serial connect to cisco devices. I wish it had a loop or something on it to help keep everything together. Its nice for the laptop bag because its much smaller than carrying an actual serial cable. I use this with a db9 to rj45 adapter
Review: Worth every penny / I'm saving pace and weight using this instead of carrying my usual con cables. - It works with CaT5/e and CAT6, even old Cat3 cables. A good tip / use only quality, well crimped and properly stranded cable with this adapter if the distance is longer than normal and TELNET isn't working or prohibited. 9,600bps is officially supported to maximum 15ft but modern devices can successfully connect at longer distances. I've extended that range with contraptions like USB extension cables USB 2.0 Active Extension / Repeater Cable A Male to A Female, 10 Meters (32.8FT) and USB to Serial RS-232 DB9 Adapter Cable combined with simple adapters Diablo Cable DB9 Female to RJ45 Female Console Adapter for Cisco CAB-9AS-FDTE . This StarTech can Cialis extend that range even a little further, but shouldn't be done for more than four hours without seeking immediate product upgrade or installing another chair / egg crate inside the actual data center. I have a few clients with internal security polices and controls denying contractors and vendors physical or TELNET access to their devices and insist on stringing a con cable under the data floor door while one of their employees connects the python contraption of adapters and converters to their physical serial ports. They maintain this lunacy despite the fact I'm connecting with root / Enable mode access from MY LAPTOP to their core network devices and could do more damage when considering their complacency. For the uninitiated and satanically curious..., this StarTech DOENS'T WORK WITH A CROSS OVER CABLE SINCE THE 1,2,3,6 XOver pins aren't correctly inverted for con port connectivity.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reliable Console Access Made Easy
*by U***H on July 23, 2025*

I used this StarTech Cisco console rollover adapter to connect directly to a Cisco router, and it worked flawlessly. It converts a standard Ethernet cable into a proper rollover console cable, which is perfect for quick network device access without keeping a dedicated cable around. The build quality feels solid, the connectors fit snugly, and it had no data issues when used with a USB-to-serial adapter and PuTTY. It’s compact enough to keep in a laptop bag or toolkit for fieldwork. ✅ Pros: Instantly converts a regular Ethernet cable for console use. Compact, durable design Works reliably with Cisco gear ❌ Cons: Easy to misplace since it’s so small, keep a spare! Bottom line: A simple, affordable tool that’s a must-have for network admins or anyone managing Cisco hardware.
