Netgate 1100 console to RJ45 cable recommendation
-
Hello ... I have a Cisco 2511 console server I want to connect to the microUSB port on my Netgate 1100s but I need to find a cable that will work. Any recommendations?

It's a standard USB micro cable. The server would need to support the USB serial port though.

Yeah, I got one of these things ... it's fine between my macbook and a Cisco serial port. But it's USB-C and I can't find a thing like this with a microUSB end. RJ-11 interface on a serial terminal server is pretty common, so I would guess someone has ventured here before.

The terminal server would need to have USB ports and support the USB/serial chip in the 1100. I don't think the Cisco 2511 has that.
