Cradlepoint 170662-000 RJ45 Ethernet Adapter
Overview
The Cradlepoint 170662-000 is an RJ45 female-to-male gender adapter that converts a standard Ethernet cable to a rollover configuration. This is a straightforward connectivity tool for field deployments where you need to mate two RJ45 cables in opposite gender orientation, or when you require rollover pinout for serial-console or legacy equipment management ports. The adapter is a passive connector with no electronics—use it to extend cable runs or adapt between incompatible cable genders in your network infrastructure.
Compatibility
This adapter is compatible with Cradlepoint industrial routers and gateways: E3000, W1850, CR4250, and the end-of-life models AER3100, AER2200, and CBA850. It integrates into any standard RJ45 Ethernet infrastructure and is suitable for use in network distribution systems, remote gateway installations, or equipment rack deployments where field-serviceable adapter connections are required.
Installation Notes
The adapter is passive and requires no power or configuration. Insert the female connector onto an RJ45 cable end and attach a male-terminated cable to the opposite side. Verify proper seating of connectors to ensure signal integrity—loose connections in field environments can introduce intermittent link loss. No special tools or torque specifications apply.
