A Cisco serial cable, often referred to as a console cable, is a type of communication cable used to connect a computer or terminal to the console port of a Cisco networking device, such as a router or switch. It typically features an RJ-45 connector on one end and a DB-9 or USB connector on the other, facilitating direct access for configuration and management. This cable is essential for initial device setup, troubleshooting, and monitoring, providing a command-line interface for administrators.
