Cradlepoint 170663-001 RJ45 Rollover Serial Cable
Overview
The Cradlepoint 170663-001 is a 4.3-meter RJ45 rollover serial cable designed for console-based device management on Cradlepoint mobile routers and network appliances. This cable establishes direct serial connectivity between a router's RJ45 console port and a terminal device (laptop, terminal server, or management workstation) — the standard approach when you need to access router configuration, firmware updates, or troubleshooting outside of Ethernet management paths. The 4.3M length (14 ft) bridges typical cabinet-to-workstation or wall-mount-to-desk distances, eliminating the need for additional extension cabling on moderate-distance console runs.
Compatibility
This cable is compatible with Cradlepoint W1850, AER3100 (EOL), W2000 Series (EOL), and CBA850 (EOL) routers. The RJ45-to-RJ45 connector pair supports direct port-to-port connection on devices featuring standard RJ45 serial console ports. If you are using a current-generation Cradlepoint router or appliance, verify the presence of an RJ45 console port before ordering — some newer platforms may use USB or alternative console interfaces.
Installation Notes
This is a passive serial cable with no power delivery — it is suitable for any environment where standard console cable handling applies. No special tools, torque specifications, or grounding requirements exist beyond normal cable strain relief at connection points. The cable is not TAA compliant.
