[AusNOG] Favourite USB to serial adapter cable

[Ryan Crouch]

I know it's not USB (and not cheap), but will post anyway.

I use the Anthony Panda Bluetooth Wireless Serial adapters - works fine
with MacOS/Linux and Windows.

http://anthonypanda.com/index.php?p=6&id=166 - I recall buying them from
Ebay cause it works out cheaper.

Obviously if you're leaving something plugged in full-time in a shared
space this isn't a great idea (but for an on-premise DC or office it would
be fine). It's in my laptop bag that goes with me everywhere and has a
battery for the remote work but can also be plugged into a USB port to
charge it or power it permanently.

I can't tell you how great it is to have a few of these plugged into
devices in racks and having all the sessions on one machine without a
single cable. Ultimately you can find somewhere more comfortable to sit
rather than pressed up against a wall, in between rack doors or in the hot
isle .....
