Yes. Check out "Figure 1-2 Front Panel of Cisco ASR-920-12CZ-D Router” on this page: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/asr920/hardware/installation/guide/ASR920_HIG/overview.html "Console port (TIA/EIA-232F)” is RS232 on a USB connector. "Auxiliary Console port” is also RS232 on a USB connector. The only USB signalled ports are down the other end of the router. >> Cisco sell a cable that gives you an RJ45 RS232, it???s just wires, no >> active components in there. > > From the description I assumed that this would be some sort of standard > USB RS232 cable, but what you write scares me deeply… Yeah, it’s naff.
