As shown in the photos, this is a genuine Cisco Systems RJ45 console cable, brand new and unused. While USB type cables are also available, they tend to be consumables, with weak or easily broken connectors. I prefer to use and reuse these RJ45 cables. They sell for a decent price online, so I'm offering them at a lower price to network engineers. To keep shipping costs down, it will be a very simple package, just an envelope. I have plenty in stock, so please contact me if you'd like to purchase multiple cables. The photos are for reference, but all cables sent will be new and unused. Please rest assured. Thank you.
