Customer Feedback

1. Bought this to use with Cisco devices for console access. Installation was simple. I have not had any problem when using this cable. My old cable used to cause blue screens. This cable has not caused any issues. I would recommend and buy again. Quick tip, like most of the Cisco console cables the RJ45 end on this would not be hard to break the clip. I keep a coupler over the RJ45 end when I carry it around. Would have been better if they had put a snag-less clip on it.

2. Tried right after it arrived, working great! No need to use those 9-pin 9-pin transpose any more (9-pin 9-hole transpose signal loss is unstable)! The design and quality look good, except a little pricy, all the other five stars praise! The console line in the photo is connected to a Huawei switch and tested well! 1.8 meters of line, it might be a bit short for some case, but doesn't matter, you can just add a straight-through line extension!

3. The cable is a good cable, however, the driver on the description does not work for all laptops. Finding correct drivers was a bit cumbersome. I have an HP Zbook G3 and the driver did not work. The 64-bit drivers in the FT-232 pack (v.2.12.28) did not work for me. However, if you have access to download from cisco.com, the drivers in the "cisco_usbconsole_driver_3_1.zip" should work (as they did work for me).

4. Excellent quality cable, and worked immediately with native driver in Win7/Win10. One great thing over most USB-to-Serial adapters is that the COM port won't change every time you disconnect/reconnect, or change when connected to a different USB port. Very happy with this purchase.

5. Perfect and exactly what I was looking for. Windows sees it as a port and provides the corresponding Comm port in system settings as apposed to loading the driver on boot up only like my previous adapter. With this one, I can plug it in and unplug it as needed without rebooting and Windows will load the driver accordingly.
