Konsolisovitin kaapeli DIGITUS USB 2.0 - RJ45 (FTDI-piirisarja), USB-A uros - RJ-48, 180 cm, sininen

The DIGITUS USB 2.0 to RJ45 console adapter cable with FTDI chipset provides a direct USB-A to RJ-48 connection for console access and serial communication with network equipment. The integrated FTDI FT232RNL chipset ensures stable USB-to-serial conversion and broad driver support across Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS. The 180 cm blue cable is designed for field use and IT maintenance where reliable terminal access to routers, switches, firewalls and WLAN controllers is required.

Advantages

The FTDI chipset delivers proven stability and wide cross-platform compatibility, reducing driver and connection issues during device configuration. The cable supports full-duplex communication and a wide baud range (75–128,000 bps), covering all common terminal speeds. A nickel-plated USB-A contact improves signal quality and long-term durability, while the 1.8 m length gives flexibility when connecting to rack-mounted or bench equipment. COM port retention simplifies reconnection and system restarts by keeping the assigned port mapping.

Suitable for

• Console access to routers and switches for configuration and debugging
• Firewall and security appliance management via serial console
• Initial device setup and firmware recovery where serial access is required
• Field service, datacenter maintenance and network troubleshooting

How to use

Connect the USB-A plug to a host computer and the RJ-48 end to the device console port. Install the required FTDI drivers on the host system if they are not already present—driver installation may be required on Windows 7 and newer, macOS 10.15+ and some Linux distributions. Open a terminal application or serial console program, select the assigned COM/serial port, set the baud rate and communication parameters matching the target device, and begin the session. When finished, safely close the terminal program and disconnect the cable.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, verify the console pinout of the target device before connection and set the terminal parameters (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits) to match the device documentation. Keep drivers up to date and avoid excessive bending near the connectors to extend cable life.
