Cisco Compatible Console Cable, 6ft, FTDI USB to RJ45 / Windows 7, 8 / Vista/MAC/Linux / RS232 Switch Router (Type-A)

Cisco Compatible Console Cable, 6ft, FTDI USB to RJ45 / Windows 7, 8 / Vista/MAC/Linux / RS232 Switch Router (Type-A)

Q: Is there a driver for windows 8?

The cable doesn't come with drivers like others. But, it works with a Red Hat 7 laptop that I use to configure Cisco equipment.

Q: is there no support for windows 10? i ordered this, but anyone got it working on windows 10 to a cisco switch?

Worked Fine for me on Windows 10 to Cisco Nexus and 3800 series switches .

Q: Where can i get the driver and which driver is it? cable doesn't work. using windows 8.cisco 4500 switch using teraterm

https://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm Pretty sure that's right, but there should have been a card with the unit. Suggest using Putty.

Great console cable

I used this cable to configure a Mellanox Switch. It worked when RS232 cables did not.

Works great, but getting it installed was a bit of a challenge

It's really nice not to have to drag a usb to serial adapter around everywhere I go. It took about a half an hour of fiddling to get it to work properly on W10, but that may have been more me than anything. I did hope for more of plug and play, thus the 4 starts.One thing I did overlook is the lost length of the adapter. The station I have set up for configuring devices was just out of range as compared to the console cable with the adapter.

Works just like the old school serial cable

Serial cables are more or less a dead end tech, and this USB version of the same thing is the best thing to ever happen for console monkeys. You can use any laptop with this cable and access any Cisco router.Yes, it works with putty, you just select which COM port to use and that's about it.

Hey! It works!

Console cable works as advertised. Cable seems sturdy and durable. Not much to add other than the quality does not dissapoint. Pricing is reasonable and it has worked with no issues for me from day one. There are several other choices from other vendors and I doubt they are substantially different. Have a laptop without a serial connector? Get this instead!
