I need a console cable and a USB adapter (my laptop doesn't have serial ports), anyone know of a local place in the Denver area or up north that sells them?

Micro Center has the best selection and most times prices for all your computer needs.
Cool thanks, i am picking up a couple used switches from a guy in Denver tonight and can't find my cable.
That console cable may be tricky to find. Didn't get any hits when I searched MicroCenter.
Ya they close at 6 anyways I wouldn't make it in time.
Microcenter definitely has the USB to serial adapter. I've picked up a few there.
What kind of console cable do you need? Serial on both ends?
Yeah, just googled it, you are correct, RJ45<->DB9. I don't get back to work until the 5th but I have a shit ton of them there and would mail you one. Shoot me a PM if you aren't able to get a hold of one by then.
I have some cisco console cables buried here and there at the house, but appear to be on the wrong end of town.
rj45 rollover and a DB9 DTE adapter should work too if I recall.
