RJ-45 to USB Adapter for console connection?

Hello,
I would like to configure a Cisco 3600 Router with my laptop, however, I do not have the RJ-45 to DB-15 cable, nor do I have the DB-15 serial port on my laptop. I also do not have the required DB-15 to USB adapter that would be needed to assist me in connecting my computer to the router.
Just curious (so I won't have to buy the cable and the adapter), is there an RJ-45 to USB cable that would allow me to connect directly from Cisco's 3600 Router console port directly to my laptop?
Thank you,

In the labs here at Cisco, and at the Cisco Networking Academy I work for, we use the light blue Cisco flat console cable (Male RJ-45 connection and a Female DB-9 Serial connection), and then a USB adapter to hook to our computers.
The blue cables are very cheap online, as every lab that orders Cisco equipment has ZILLIONS of them.  The adapters are pretty inexpensive as well; just note not all are plug-and-play; some need specific drivers (usually easily found online).
Recomended Google/E-bay/Amazon search criteria:  "Cisco Console Cable" and "Female DB-9 Serial to USB"

    Probably not normally, Apple has removed some of the hidden features of the USB dongle via a software update for iPad. One of those features was playing host to hard drives, keyboards, etc.

  • USB adapter for old imac

    I know this should be in the crt imac forum, but i need a response soon.
    I'm looking for a wireless usb adapter for a crt imac. This mac has the capability to use an airport card, but none is installed.
    Are there any usb adapters that are mac compatible? If not, is there anywhere i can find an old airport card (not airport extreme).

    Hi John,
    You want one of these:

    It connects to the ethernet port. I have the 'B' version on an old 450DV+, and it works well.

  • Why hasn't apple created its own USB or USB adapter for their products.? Since an iPhone or iPad make traveling and doing school work or on the job work, why not create a USB to make transferring information easier too.?

    In some folks' version of the world, you have plenty of ways. YOu have the aforementioned services, you have iCloud, all you need is an internet connection and you're good to go. And that works perfectly...if you always have the internet.
    If you want more non-internet dependant ways, then the best way to let Apple know is to send them feedback. They don't monitor or respond to this forum (Beyond removing rule breaking posts) but they do at least log feedback. However, the lack of a file manager will always be an obstacle. There are some apps out there that have at least a pseudo file manager - as in the ability to move documents into multiple other apps. I have Readdle Docs which I can use to download and move things around with, but again, back to the internet or wireless.

  • Sample JAVA code using Resource Adapter for RFC Connections

    Hi Java Knowledgeable Ones.
    I have successfully deployed the SAP Netweaver J2ee Engine "Resource Adapter for RFC Connections to ABAP Systems" to my Web Application Server.  Now I need to develop a JAVA application that would utilize this deployed resource adapter.  The resource adapter specifies the SAPClient, UserName, and password.  I am thinking that the JAVA code to invoke this connection would therefore not need to provide this information as it should be available in the resource adapter.
    Do you have sample code that you could send to me showing how to do this?
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Hi Kevin,
    this is actually no good style! You should not open the connection with the adaptor knowing the password. Usually it should work via a connection that uses only basic rights  and the user has already authenticated and is using his security ticket.
    For security handling see:

  • I'm having a brand new unopened Apple 5W USB adapter from UK. I want an Indian version USB adapter. Will Apple Store replace my USB adapter for free of cost ?

    I'm having a brand new unopened Apple 5W USB adapter from UK for my iphone 5. I want an Indian version USB adapter. Will Apple Store replace my USB adapter for free of cost ?

    Perhaps, but maybe not, as what can they do with one with the UK plugs?  I'm just saying regional things like that often have to be returned at a store in the country you bought them.
    But, just go and ask as the worse they can say is no.  If they do say no they cannot exchange it, then for very little money you can buy a UK-to-India plug adapter and use that charger in India anyway.  Such plug adapters are only $2-$5 here in the USA on Amazon.

  • USB adapter for Toshiba MK6034GSX

    Does anybody know where to get a USB adapter to fit this hard drive. It has blade type connectors not pins? The laptop will not boot and I'm trying to extract the info if at all possible before I try a format.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    That model is a SATA hard drive and uses standard SATA connections.  The laptop manufacturer may have plug a special slot adaptor between the hard drive and interface port on the motherboard so you might have to remove that to connect it directly to a SATA connector.  Dell in notorious for doing this. 
    Here is what the connections side looks like on this drive as it ships from the factory.

  • USB adapter for PB3400/OS8.1

    I have a PB3400 running OS8.1. I'd like to be able to connect a (PC compatible) USB memory stick to it, so I'm looking a for a USB adapter. The PB3400 has a slot for PCMCIA card. I've found a plenty of PCMCIA USB adapter cards but none will work with OS8.1. Are there any drivers available? Do I have any other options?
    Many thanks.

    Alan,
    Even though the PB3400 does not officially support USB (32-bit), it does have the Texas Instruments 32-bit chip on the logic board. You do, however, require a minimum of OS 8.6 so you can install the USB Adapter Card Support.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=31132
    Here also is a website discussing using a USB PC card on the 3400:
    http://www.wwc.edu/~frohro/Cardbus/Cardbus.html
    Please be aware that even a USB 2.0 PC card will still only run at the slower 1.1-speeds under 8.6 > 9.2.2. Also, the USB and FireWire PC cards do not supply the bus power required to run peripherals like a USB 2.5" HD, so I don't know how much voltage is required for the USB memory stick.
    You may be better served with this configuration:
    - Buy the SanDisk 6-in-1 PC Card Adapter (16-bit) for the PCMCIA card slot of the 3400; no drivers are required.
    - Buy the SanDisk MS/MS Pro I/ II Reader (USB) for any computer that has a USB port.
    - Buy a SanDisk xxxMB Memory Stick PRO.
    All of the above can be seen at this link; just at the Products list on the left side. I imagine similar hardware is available from other vendors also.

    Hi, Alan. Support for the then brand-new USB protocol in OS 8.1 was really rudimentary — no modern USB device is likely to be compatible with it. USB support wasn't even halfway mature until OS 8.6. Are you reluctant to upgrade to 8.6 or even 9.1?
    There is another possible problem: I don't remember whether the 3400's PCMCIA slot is 32-bit CardBus-compliant, and I don't know whether a USB 1.1 adapter card would require that compliance. (I suspect that any USB 2.0 card would require it, and you'll never get USB 2.0 speed on a 3400 anyway: OS X 10.2.3 or 10.3.4 or later is required for USB 2.0 support. So don't buy a USB 2.0 card.) But you should be able to get reliable info about these specifications and requirements from an exceptionally knowledgeable poster over here who goes by the name of jpl. Good luck.

  • Usb adapter for mac not working

    Couple Days ago my USB adapter was working fine for my ipod to connect to Itunes but today when I tried to plug in my ipod the itunes is not doing anything. Not Charging. All the drivers are undated, softwares are updated. I already tried reinstalling and uninstalling What can I do? Please Help!

    Looks to me more like a hardware than a software problem. Have you tried using a different USB port or a different cable? Does the iPod charge when plugged into a wall mounted charger?
