Ruth's sister RJ45 to DB9 Console Cable Blue 1.5M
Connects RJ45 Ethernet equipment to a DB9 serial console port using a 1.5 m blue cable
- Connect network devices via RJ45 to DB9 serial console
- 5 metre cable length suits rack and desk setups
- USB interface enables direct PC connection without extra adapters
- Eight-core bare copper conductors maintain signal integrity
- Sky blue injection-moulded sheath resists wear in daily use
Console cable for network devices
This cable adapts an RJ45 console port to a DB9 serial interface. It suits engineers who configure routers, switches or firewalls through a serial terminal. The 1.5 M length gives enough reach for a typical rack or bench setup.
Rollover wiring limits direct PC use
The cable follows the rollover pinout used by Cisco and similar console ports. It cannot connect two standard Ethernet devices or serve as a straight-through patch lead. A USB-to-serial adapter is required if the host computer lacks a native DB9 COM port.
Eight-core copper handles console traffic
Eight bare-copper conductors carry RS-232 signalling at up to 232 kbps, which is ample for CLI configuration and firmware recovery. The 2 mm × 8 mm flat profile eases routing in dense racks. Longer runs or high-speed synchronous links would need a different cable type.

Questions about this item
Which cable length should I choose for a standard rack setup?
The cable is 1.5M long, suitable for typical console connections between a router and a management station.
What does the RS232 DB9 connector actually provide on this adapter?
It provides a serial COM port interface operating at RS232 voltage levels for direct router console access.
How does the RJ45 to DB9 interface limit the connection in practice?
The RJ45 female to DB9 interface uses a rollover pinout for Cisco-style console ports, cabling the 8 cores through 2mm*8mm wire.
