[AusNOG] Favourite USB to serial adapter cable

[Ben Cooper]

I have about 10 of these:

I have the plug permanentley into a number of server/router combos and my
main pc aswell, never crashes, drops or has driver issues.

Works with OSX Yosemite/Mavericks and windows xp/7/8/8.1 without fault and
its nice and long when connected to a cisco console cable.

Cheers

Ben
