Tripp Lite N034-05N-BL network ethernet cable RJ45 male to female 5 in blue

Cisco Console Rollover Adapter

This five-inch adapter converts a standard straight-through Ethernet cable into a rollover cable for Cisco console ports. It connects a computer terminal to the RJ45 console port on a Cisco modem, router, firewall or switch. The blue PVC jacket and fully molded ends provide color-coded identification in crowded racks. It is designed for network administrators managing serial-based Cisco devices.

Replaces Dedicated Rollover Cables

The adapter eliminates the need to purchase and store separate rollover cables for console access. It is worth using when you already have standard RJ45 patch cables and need occasional console connectivity. It does not suit buyers who want a permanent, single-piece rollover cable or those requiring longer reach than the five-inch length provides.

Fits Tightly Packed Console Servers

The narrow RJ45 male end connects securely to the device while leaving adjacent ports accessible, unlike short M/F plugs that block neighbouring ports. It requires a standard straight-through RJ45 Ethernet cable to function. The molded construction ensures a durable connection that resists accidental disconnection during maintenance.
