Frequently Asked Questions - ICUSBROLLOVR StarTech.com
What is the StarTech.com ICUSBROLLOVR cable used for?
This cable is used to connect a computer's USB port to a device's RJ45 console port, typically for configuring network equipment like Cisco routers and switches.
How do I connect the cable?
Plug the USB Type A end into your computer and the RJ45 end into the console port of your device. Ensure the connection is secure.
Is this cable compatible with all devices?
It is compatible with devices that have a USB-A port on the computer side and an RJ45 console port on the device side. It works with many routers, switches, and firewalls.
Do I need drivers to use this cable?
Most modern operating systems will automatically detect the cable as a USB serial device. On older systems, you may need to install a driver for the Prolific PL2303 chipset (common in this cable).
What is the maximum length of this cable?
The cable length is 1.8 meters (6 feet). Longer distances may require a USB extension cable, but serial communication over RJ45 is generally limited to about 15 meters.
Does this cable use a standard or rollover pinout?
It uses a rollover pinout (also called Cisco console cable), where pin 1 on one end connects to pin 8 on the other, etc. This is different from a standard Ethernet cable.
Can I use this cable for Ethernet networking?
No, this cable is designed for serial console communication, not Ethernet. It uses a rollover wiring scheme which is not compatible with Ethernet standards.
Is the cable shielded?
The cable has PVC jacket and is typically unshielded (UTP). For most console applications, shielding is not necessary.
What should I do if the cable is not recognized?
First, check the USB connection and try a different port. Ensure the correct COM port is selected in your terminal program. If still not recognized, try reinstalling the USB serial drivers.
How do I clean and maintain this cable?
Wipe the connectors and cable with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners. Do not bend the cable sharply and keep it away from heat sources.
