[AusNOG] Favourite USB to serial adapter cable

[Beeson, Ayden]

Agreed, they are bulletproof, works every time on my Linux hosts no problem.

IJK in Sydney used to sell them really cheap too.

Cheers,
Ayden

+ eleventybillion for the aten.
I've used the aten units for many years and not one has skipped a beat. My uses have extended far beyond cisco console cables having used them for other IT comms type gear, connectivity to a solar inverter, a weather station, numerous two way radios (cb, amateur and commercial) and other electronic hobby type stuff I've played with. You won't go wrong with one of these.

Cheers
Matthew

I had issues on my Mac too, but there’s a chipset that’s well supported called the UC232A. ATEN (not be confused with A10, which I was doing for a while) is the one to get.

There’s also a fancy 4 port hub version I just found: http://www.aten.com/products/Mobility-&-USB/USB-Converters/4-Port-USB-to-Serial-RS-232-Hub~UC2324.html

GetConsole would be sweet though, depends on price point I guess.

The GetConsole Airconsole looks freaking sweet though, supports Bluetooth LE and WiFi.

Is it just me, or do network engineers appear to have a bias toward OS X? (I know I do :)).

I'm a Mac user and had issues in the past finding something reliable, until I got one of these:

Works well using screen /dev/blah

Hi Guys,

What are people’s preferred USB to serial adapter cable to use with Cisco console cables these days? I have tried many over the years, and they are either unreliable, have driver issues, or blue screen Windows too frequently.

Don’t care about price – just want the most reliable one out there – Windows preferred, but if it works with Mac too that’s a bonus.

Thanks

Radek
