Cisco USB Type A to USB Micro-B (18m)

Cisco USB Type A to USB Micro-B (1.8 m) — Console Cable

Managing and configuring network devices can be challenging if you don't have the right equipment. This console cable connects the USB port on your computer to the micro USB-B port on your network device, allowing direct access to its console. The 1.8 m length gives you sufficient reach even in tight spaces in server rooms or racks. The cable supports the standard 9600 bits per second transfer rate, which is optimal for Cisco console access, and is compatible with a wide range of Cisco devices and select Palo Alto firewalls.

Device Connection and Compatibility

The cable is an ideal choice for managing routers and switches thanks to its plug-and-play connection. After connecting and installing the drivers (Cisco Microsoft USB or Silicon Labs USB), a serial COM port automatically appears, making setup and diagnostics easier. It is compatible with, among others, Cisco ISR C1101, C112x routers, IR1821, IR1835 industrial routers, Cisco Catalyst 9200CX switches and Palo Alto PA-220 to PA-7000 firewalls. However, it does not support Aruba AP access points, which is important to consider when choosing.

Technical features and performance

• Maximum voltage of 5 V and AWG 26 wire cross-section guarantee safe data transmission without power.
• Number of pins: 4 – the cable is therefore intended exclusively for data communication.
• The transmission speed 9,600 bit/s complies with Cisco console access standards.
• The cable length 1.8 m allows comfortable work even in tight spaces.
