DSD TECH SH-RJ45P USB to Console cable with PL2303RA chip for Cisco Routers Switches 1.8M/5.9FT

Works perfect with Cisco

I recently picked up an RJ45 to USB connector to connect my console to some switches, and I have to say, it’s been a game changer for me. Setting it up was straightforward—just plugged it in, and I was good to go.The connection is stable, and I haven't experienced any dropouts, which is crucial for my work. I appreciate that it lets me manage my switches without the hassle of dealing with bulky setups or complicated adapters. It feels pretty durable too; I don't worry about it falling apart after a few uses.Overall, if you’re looking for something to streamline your networking experience, I’d recommend this connector. It’s simple, effective, and does exactly what it needs to do without any fuss.

Works as it should.

Vendor instructions not good and didn't mention a driver on the App store which 100% solves a dev/tty visibility problem.With the vendor driver only, device shows in the Mac's System Information as a USB Serial Controller but not as a terminal device under /dev/tty* .Install the driver from the App Store to make it shows up as a serial device,e.g. /dev/tty.PL2303G-USBtoUART830Then you can use CoolTerm (for example) and connect to your console device.

The cable works as expected but it has a flashing LED on the PC end of the cable. While this is useful it does make the end of the cable chunky and wide. This makes it impossible to connect other USB cables next to it so if you need to see activity on a switch and a router at the same time with the console port you may be limiting your options

Just what I ordered

It works, well made cable.....recommended !!

It's rather hard to get the drivers for this product. Though, once you have them, the cable works as expected. Not quite as "plug and play" as the Cisco Serial to RJ45.
