Pros & Cons
Pros

Cons
The standard colors for the rj45 connections were not adhered to. Perhaps this is by design, but if that is the case, it should be documented and advertised as so. Need better info for different pin layouts on this.
Highlights
Quality
Simple design that can be adapted easily to whatever pinout is needed.
This was easy assembly and i was able to pin this out as to use a straight through cable for connecting to cisco devices.

Competitiveness
Unfortunately, sonicwall has a unique/different pinout for their console port.
