Data & Console Cables — Cisco Rollover, Serial, USB Console & KVM Cables
Console and data cables are the first thing you reach for when deploying or troubleshooting network equipment. Resilient Tec stocks the console rollover cables, RS-232 serial cables, USB-to-console adapters, and KVM cables that network engineers and data center technicians use every day to access Cisco routers, switches, and other managed network devices.
What's in This Collection?
- Cisco Rollover (Console) Cables — RJ45-to-RJ45 or RJ45-to-DB9 cables for accessing the console port on Cisco routers and switches
- USB-to-Console Adapters — USB Type-A or Type-C to RJ45/mini-USB for modern laptops without serial ports
- RS-232 / DB9 Serial Cables — for legacy console access and async serial connections
- KVM Cables — keyboard, video, mouse cables for server direct access
