Instead of hauling over a laptop, just plug your iPhone into your Cisco router or switch when you need to access it over an 8P8C serial port. This six-foot adapter cord works with the Get Console app to provide serial console access to Cisco and Juniper routers, switches and firewalls (or any other Cisco/Juniper device with a standard 8P8C serial console port). Requires iPhone, iPod touch or iPad with iOS 4.2+ and the Get Console App available for purchase from the iTunes Store. Compatible with iPhone 5, iPad mini, iPad (4th generation) and iPod touch (5th generation).
