FAQ
What is a rollover serial console cable?
A rollover serial console cable is a specialized network cable where the pin assignments are reversed between the two ends. This configuration is specifically designed for connecting network devices to console ports on computers or terminal servers, enabling direct serial communication for device configuration and management without requiring network connectivity.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
This cable is specifically compatible with the CradlePoint ARC CBA850 Cellular Broadband Adapter. It may also work with other network equipment that requires similar rollover serial console connections for configuration and management purposes. The cable supports network devices with RJ-45 console ports that utilize serial communication protocols.
What is the cable length and why is it important?
The cable measures 14 feet (4.27 meters) in length. This provides sufficient reach for connecting network equipment to console ports in rack-mounted environments, server rooms, or networking closets where the equipment being managed may be located at varying distances from the console access point. The length offers flexibility while maintaining signal integrity for serial communication.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
This cable features standard RJ-45 connectors with male terminations on both ends. Both connectors are identical, with the rollover design implementing reversed pin assignments internally to enable proper serial console communication between network devices and console ports.
