APC - USB Cable - 4 PIN USB Type a to RJ45 - AP9827

APC by Schneider Electric AP9827 Concise Descriptor

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric AP9827 is a specialized USB console cable designed to bridge the gap between standard USB Type-A ports found on many computers and the RJ45 serial interfaces common on network infrastructure devices. This cable allows for direct console access to routers, switches, firewalls, and other network appliances for initial configuration, troubleshooting, or firmware updates, bypassing the need for traditional serial ports that are increasingly absent on modern laptops.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered for compatibility with APC's own network management devices, including select Smart-UPS models and other APC infrastructure management products that utilize an RJ45 console port. It also functions as a general-purpose USB-to-serial console cable for network hardware from various manufacturers that adhere to standard RJ45 console pinouts. Verify your specific device's RJ45 console port pinout against standard console cable configurations for guaranteed interoperability.

Installation Notes

The AP9827 features a standard USB Type-A connector on one end, plugging directly into a host computer's USB port. The other end terminates in an RJ45 connector, which interfaces with the console port on the network device. No drivers are typically required for modern operating systems (Windows 10+, macOS, Linux) as they include built-in support for USB serial emulation. Ensure the target network device's console port is active and configured for serial communication.
