Description

QNAP CAB-CONSOLE-UPJ-1M8 USB to 3.5mm Console Cable

Overview

The CAB-CONSOLE-UPJ-1M8 is a USB to 3.5mm (UPJ) serial console cable designed for direct command-line access to QNAP devices equipped with a 3.5mm console port. At 1.8 meters, it gives enough reach to connect a laptop or workstation to rack-mounted hardware without crowding the front panel — useful during initial provisioning, firmware recovery, or low-level troubleshooting when the network interface is unavailable or misconfigured.

Compatibility

Designed for use with QNAP NAS, network switches, and router appliances that expose a 3.5mm UART console port. Verify your specific device's hardware manual to confirm the 3.5mm console pinout is present — not all QNAP models include a physical console port. Check the QNAP product catalog for compatible NAS and network appliance models. This cable is not a standard audio cable; the 3.5mm connector carries serial UART signals, not audio.

Installation Notes

Connect the USB end to any host running a terminal emulator (PuTTY, minicom, screen). The cable enumerates as a USB serial adapter — install the appropriate USB-to-serial driver for your OS if it does not auto-detect. Set your terminal to the baud rate specified in your QNAP device's documentation (commonly 115200 baud, 8N1). The 3.5mm plug carries TX, RX, and GND on a standard UART pinout; do not insert into audio jacks on other equipment.
