Console Cable for Cisco Equipment

This Cisco CAB-CONSOLE-USB cable provides a direct USB Type-A to Mini-B connection for managing Cisco network devices. It is intended for network administrators and engineers who configure routers, switches or firewalls through a console port. The six-foot length suits standard rack and desk setups.

USB Type-A to Mini-B Interface

The single specification that determines compatibility is the connector pairing: a standard USB Type-A plug on one end and a Mini Type-B plug on the other. This matches the console port found on many Cisco platforms and requires a USB-A host port on the management computer.

Six-Foot Reach and Limits

At six feet the cable comfortably spans from a nearby laptop or crash cart to equipment mounted in a typical rack. It runs out when the management station must sit farther away, such as across a large data-centre aisle or behind locked cabinet doors where a longer run is needed.

Questions about this item

What does the six-foot length mean when the cable is routed inside a rack?

The cable measures 1.8 metres end to end, giving enough slack to reach a front-panel USB port from a rear-mounted console server without pulling tight.

What does the USB Type A to Mini-B interface actually carry?

It provides a USB 2.0 full-speed serial link so a laptop can open a terminal session to the Cisco device console port.

How much clearance do the moulded plugs need at each end?

Each plug is a standard low-profile USB shell that fits side-by-side with adjacent ports on a typical switch or laptop.
