The Console Cable Plug takes the classic Cisco-style console cable and compresses it into a small PCB plug. Instead of relying on a fixed, short, proprietary cable, it lets you use any standard Ethernet cable to get console access up to 100 meters (328 ft) — just connect the plug to your computer via USB-C, and to the console port using any RJ45 Ethernet cable.

Compatible with standard RJ45 console ports.

Why it's better than the classic console cable:

• Trusted from day one — great for CCNA students too, whether you're a working network engineer or just starting your CCNA journey, the Console Cable Plug is a reliable tool to have in your kit from the beginning. Its durability and flexibility make it a great choice for lab practice, home labs, and hands-on study — one less thing to worry about when you're troubleshooting a broken console connection instead of your actual lab or work .
• No more short-distance limitations. Traditional console cables are fixed-length and often too short to reach console ports in tight or awkward spaces (racks, cabinets, under-desk equipment). With this design, you can use any Ethernet cable from 1 to 100 meters (3 to 328 ft).
• No more worn-out or bent pins killing your connection. The RJ45 port on classic console cables is a common failure point — the pins wear out or bend over time, causing intermittent or lost connections. If that happens here, you simply swap in a new Ethernet cable and get back to work.
• Durable and field-repairable. If a cable or pin ever fails, you're not stuck replacing the whole tool — just the cable.

Compact and reliable EDC for network engineers.

Its small, cube-like form factor makes it easy to carry in a laptop bag or tool kit. Whether you're doing rack work, fieldwork, or emergency troubleshooting, it's a reliable everyday-carry (EDC) tool that solves two of the most common console cable failure points — length and pin wear.
