Pros: It allowed me to hook my Linux box to a Level 3 switch and run a console window on the switch - so if you need to do that particular task, you need one of these bad boys. It's simple, it works.
Cons: none
Overall Review: I agree with the other reviewer that the price is too high by a factor of two. However, the folks that make the cable charge ridiculous fees for shipping so it's a wash - in fact it ends up being a buck or two cheaper here once you count shipping. If newegg listed the correct price, and we could benefit from the better shipping here not to mention the wonderful support here, this product would get 5 stars.

Perfect for SRW204811/16/2012 2:57:53 PM
Pros: Works with Linksys SRW2048. Quality construction. Well packaged
Cons: The cable is a bit thinner than I expected it to be. Still quite sturdy, but I'm glad this won't have to be moved excessively.
Overall Review: I recently bought a used Linksys SRW2048, but it didn't come with a console cable and my null modem cable didn't work. I thought the switch might be broken until I found some info that led me to using a straight-through cable.
This worked right away.

Who uses these anymore5/18/2017 9:26:26 AM
Pros: - Price
- Facilitate console redirection on server hardware
Cons: NULL
Overall Review: I don't know if this cable really is a null modem; when i set up the console redirection I had to set the bios to direct connection, and not modem - confused - but I fully accept that I may be an idiot. Added this bit to maybe help out someone else. LINUX RULES!!!
Pros: I stick data in one end and it comes out looking the same on the other end. These work fine
Cons: none
