Cisco rollover cable

This ten-foot rollover cable uses 32 AWG copper conductors and male RJ45 connectors on both ends. The blue PVC jacket is built for repeated handling in equipment racks. It replaces the standard console cable supplied with Cisco routers and switches.

Before ordering

Verify that the target device uses a rollover pinout on its console port rather than a straight-through or crossover arrangement. Confirm the port accepts a standard RJ45 plug and that a ten-foot reach covers the distance between the console server and the managed device. Buyers needing a straight-through patch lead for data traffic should look elsewhere.

Build integration

The male-to-male layout plugs directly into the console port of a router, switch or firewall and into a terminal server or USB-to-serial adapter. No external power or driver installation is required. The rugged jacket resists kinking when routed through cable managers, freeing up space in dense patch panels.

Questions about this item

Does the 10 ft cable arrive ready to plug into a Cisco console port, or do I need an extra adapter?

The cable has male RJ45 connectors on both ends and is wired as a rollover cable, so it connects directly to a Cisco console port without any additional adapter.

I see the wire is 32 AWG — is that thin gauge still durable enough for regular use?

The 32 AWG copper conductors are protected by a rugged PVC jacket designed to withstand repeated insertion and routing in rack environments.

What does the rollover wiring actually do when the cable is connected between my laptop and a Cisco router?

Rollover wiring reverses the pin order end to end, letting a standard serial or USB console adapter talk to the Cisco device's management port without a separate crossover adapter.
