MoyinaUSB C Console Cable USB C to RJ45 Cable FTDI Chip Essential Accesory of Routers/Switches for Laptops in Windows, Mac, Linux (1.8M,black)

What a game changer for us network nerds!! Although a little sceptical at first, it worked first time, no drivers on a Mac and a faultless connection.This is an awesome addition to ‘must have’ network tools. Saves all the grief of adaptors of the past.

works as expected. no quirks.

Quite an unpleasant buy ! They get dangerously hot when plugged in a laptop and when that laptop is not plugged in AC power adapter...It took me a while to realize this defect and I literally burnt myself trying to unplug it.I bought 2 of them in the same order and the two behave exactly the same. I also tested on two different laptops with the exact same results: It will burn itself when plugged in a laptop that is not plugged in AC... I did not wait to see if it would destroy itself or damage my laptops.It takes around 2 to 5 minutes to become hot enough to be considered as a risk.The laptops I used are: Lenovo Thinkpad T590 & Lenovo Yoga Slim 7, Intel 8th gen & AMD 4000 series. No idea on the usb chipset they ultimately use but a usb device shouldn't behave like this either way.This product is therefore a huge hazard risk, don't make the same mistake I did.

I found that the quality of this product is quite good and worked seamlessly on my 15-inch Macbook Pro using Big Sur v11.2.3.This device shown up under /dev/*usb* in seconds and was able to screen into a console connection of some Cisco Routers, glad I do not need to keep buying multiple connectors / converters for these routers.It also came in a nice small antistatic bag with an RJ45 connector cover.

Uses a legitimate FTDI chip so absolutely no driver issues. Was plug and play on my Windows 11 laptop and so far has been perfect for accessing consoles on HPE/Aruba, Cisco, Cisco small business, and Juniper switches.
