Exactly the console cable I needed!
I'm refurbishing several older Cisco switches, and the only console cables I had were serial to RJ45. I don't think I've had a laptop, or PC, with a serail port in 10 years.This cable works perfectly! No drivers necessary for Win11 and PuTTY picked it up immediately. All I had to do is change from COM1 to COM3 and it negotiates with the switches with zero issues.An added bonus is the 10' length. That means I can push back from the racks a bit with my cart.

It works!
This cable works perfectly for any serial connection. I use it for work when having to connect to older network switches that don't have a USB console port. I've used this cable on Windows and Mac and there have been no issues, assuming you have your baud set correct.

Good console cable
I use this to connect to a Cisco switch's console port. Many people probably may already know this. But I didn't. Before installing the FDTI driver, this shows up under Device Manager as "FTDI 232 UART USB". That means PUTTY can't see it. After installing the driver, it shows up as "USB Serial Port (COMx)" and connects with PUTTY software fine. Overall, this is a good cable!

Broken in 5 Months, still recieved a refund!
The cable doesn't register connected after a few months and ~100 uses. Lightly used, kept cable clean, and stored very well. The device has trouble registering when connecting to my MacBook Pro 14. I cannot recommend it and must look for a better alternative.Edit: support reached out quickly after this review and fully refunded my 5 month old purchase. Very happy with thier support.

Intel Mac to Cisco Firepower with no trouble.
I use an app on my mac called Serial. I plugged the USB-C into my mac, jacked into the console port of the Cisco Firepower firewall, and was immediately able to connect. The Serial app recognized it as `FT232R USB UART — FTDI — SN A99PZHUI — /dev/cu.usbserial-A99PZHUI` ... so have fun with that.Cable is well constructed, as good or better than the standard Cisco console cables. I wish the RJ45 had a boot so the clip doesn't break off in my bag ... because that's where this thing is going to live out its days, mostly.

Simply Works
Works great after a driver update. Allows me to get rid of cumbersome dongles and works perfectly with Cisco devices. 5/5
