Editorial Review This Cisco compatible console cable work on configuring a links's router with a Mac Pro OSX, Works great for console connections, but you must still provide your own configuring software. Use a free version of putty for Mac to access the CLI but others use various GUI apps. Linksys is Cisco's SOHO consumer grade brand, just make sure that the router is a managed one rather than having to utilize their HTTP based configuration utility.
