Review: Great Console Cable - I purchased "OIKWAN USB-C Cisco Console Cable, 6ft USB Type C to RJ45 Serial Adapter Essential Accessory of Cisco, NETGEAR, Ubiquity, LINKSYS, TP-Link Routers/Switches for Laptops" for £12.99 in the USB-C 1.8m option. Functionality This console cable does exactly what its meant to. A lot of modern laptops don't come with anything but USB C anymore, so getting a console cable that's USB C means I don't have to faff around with adapters anymore when I'm in a pinch. Compatibility I can confirm this is compatible on W10 and W11. All you need to do is install the correct driver; I've used the VPC driver from ftdichip (dot) com for years. The driver works on Windows and MAC so this product will too! Quality The product is durable and both ends have survived being stuffed into ports and rammed into bags with no issue. Connectivity This console cable will work with any device that has an RJ-45 style console port. I've used it on Cisco, Juniper and Palo Alto kit to name a few. Speed This console cable will work at whatever speed the connecting devices supported baud rate is. Ease of Installation This product needs a FTDI driver that does not come with the product. I have used the VPC driver from ftdichip (dot) com for years.
Review: Excellent purchase that worked perfectly first time. - This was an excellent purchase that worked perfectly first time and helped me to regain root access to reconfigure a 2nd hand enterprise switch for a homelab.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have 2 queries

1) How long is the cable? and if there are more measures available?**
A: The cable is 6ft,Before using, you need to go FTDI website  to download the driver corresponding to your computer system and install , it can work. Good luck!

**Q: Will this cable work for a bar code scanner that uses cat-5 connection on the scanner and usb to a computer?**
A: If your scanner has a console port ,it can connect the usb to a computer

**Q: why are reviews saying usb 3 doesn't work usb3 is backwards compatible ?**
A: USB 3.0 can work, but it can't reach USB 3.0 The transmission speed of 0, is only USB2 Speed of 0.

**Q: Will this work on a eero router and a Dell laptop?**
A: You should always look at the routers specs. Routers usually have 1 or more Rj45 port(s) then it should work, but there may be something on the router you'll have to configure to allow network connectivity.

If your laptop has a usb port it should work.
Hope that helps.
