Cisco Console Rollover Cable

This is a console cable people - not a network cable. It will not work as a network cable as some people have complained.It is also a Roll Over cable - meaning the wires are reversed on each plug. This is typical for older Cisco devices.If you have a modern Cisco device or other units like 3com, juniper, ubiquity etc, you will need a straight cable.You can convert this to straight by chopping off one RJ45 plug and installing it again, but in reverse order... though using a standard CAT5 or higher network cable will do the same.Once again - this is NOT a network cable people - its console cable (old RS232 DB9 Serial Port days).

It does was it says on the tin, rollover cable used to connect the console port of a Cisco and H3c devices to a Raritan dsx console server.

Mine came broken, we spent so much time trying to figure out why the device wouldnt work. Finally realized that this Brand New cable came broken, we went out and bought another one thats the cheapest possible, and it worked well.The look of it is pretty good, slick and thin, other than that, i personally dont have any positive feelings about it.

I bought for my friend, and this is the exactly what he want

Mine doesn't work. Didn't use it until after the 30 day return policy ended. I needed to console to a Cisco router that I purchased and had to resort to setting up an ancient laptop with an RS232 port. I assume the cable is dead. However, I don't have a cable tester to verify. I'm surprised a dead cable was missed.I'll instead purchase an RS232 adapter, rather than purchase another cable, or the adapter. After all, the RS232 to rollover I own actually works.
