The console rollover cable converts a straight-through Ethernet cable into a rollover cable. This Cisco console rollover cable connects to the end of any RJ45 Ethernet standard cable and internally rolls the contacts to transform the cable from straight-through to rollover. This allows you to establish a rollover connection between a computer terminal and the RJ45 console port on a Cisco modem, router, firewall, switch, or other serial device without the need to purchase new cables.

It provides unrestricted access to adjacent ports. Unlike short M/F connectors that block neighboring RJ45 ports when plugged in, this RJ45 rollover console cable is recommended for Cisco products for console servers and other devices where ports are often closely spaced. The slim RJ45 connector end securely connects to the device while keeping adjacent ports accessible.

The color coding helps avoid confusion that could lead to costly downtime. This 5-inch Cisco console rollover adapter features a blue PVC jacket and fully molded blue ends. The color coding allows for easy and quick identification in a crowded switch or router, preventing accidental disconnection of the cable.
