Hitoor DB9 RS232 Male to RJ45 Female Console Cable 3.3 ft

SKU CH-Q7AR-H2PTJ

Connects a DB9 serial port to an RJ45 console port on routers and switches using double-shielded oxygen-free copper cable

  • Overall length3.3 ft (1.01 m)
  • Product colorBlack
  • Connect serial devices to network console ports via DB9 RS232 male to RJ45 female interface
  • Achieve bi-directional transparent transmission between serial and network data with dual-way conversion
  • Works with 95% of switches and routers on the market for broad compatibility
  • Oxygen-free copper wire delivers high-speed clear signal transmission over 3.3 ft length
  • Double-shielded construction prevents signal interference for reliable data transfer

Console connectivity

This Hitoor DB9 RS232 male to RJ45 female console cable links a PC serial port to the console port on routers and switches. The 3.3 ft black cable is intended for network administrators who need direct CLI access to infrastructure gear during configuration or recovery.

Signal limits

The RS232 electrical standard restricts practical cable runs to short distances, so the 3.30 ft length suits bench or rack-side work but not cross-room wiring. Double shielding and oxygen-free copper conductors reduce EMI pickup, yet the interface itself remains a bottleneck for high-throughput data movement.

Capacity headroom

The cable supports bi-directional transparent transmission between serial and network data streams for the majority of managed switches and routers on the market. It is not suited for scenarios that require longer reach, higher signalling rates, or conversion beyond the RS232-to-RJ45 console role.

Questions about this item

Which length of this console cable should I pick?

The cable is supplied in a single 3.3 ft length, which matches the 1 m specification and suits most rack-to-console connections.

What does the 95 % router and switch compatibility claim mean when I plug it in?

It indicates the pin-out follows the common rollover standard used by Cisco and similar gear, so the cable will establish a console session on the vast majority of managed switches and routers without adapters.

How does the DB9 RS-232 to RJ45 interface limit the connection in practice?

The DB9 end carries only the RS-232 serial signals, so the link runs at traditional serial console speeds and cannot pass Ethernet traffic; it is strictly for out-of-band management access.
