Aruba X2C2 RJ45 to DB9 Console Cable

The Aruba JL448A is an RJ45 to DB9 console cable that gives network administrators a quick, dependable way to reach the management port on compatible HPE Aruba and FlexNetwork switches. When you are installing new gear, updating firmware, or troubleshooting in the field, this cable lets you open a console session without juggling multiple adapters or searching for the right connector.

One end carries a male RJ45 plug that fits the console port on many HPE switches, and the other end features a female DB9 connector that mates with the serial port on a laptop or with a USB-to-serial adapter. The 61-inch length provides comfortable working distance from a rack or desktop, while the flexible jacket routes easily around equipment without stressing the connectors.

The cable has a compact form factor and weighs only 90.7 g, so it slips neatly into a laptop bag or tool kit. A limited lifetime warranty backs its build quality, giving field technicians confidence that it will stand up to repeated use. Compatibility extends across widely deployed switch families, including the Aruba 2530, 2540, 2930, 3810, and 8325 series, which means a single cable can serve many roles in campus networks, branch offices, and data centers.

Keep the Aruba JL448A on hand for initial switch configuration, rapid recovery after a factory reset, or day-to-day management tasks. With a reliable console link always within reach, you can focus on the work, not the wiring.
