USB to RJ-45 Console Cable?

Hi All,

I have read numerous threads on Google goups and cannot come up with
an answer on this one.

I have already read and seen that there are cables/adapters that
go from USB to DB-9. That would allow you to connect your standard
serial console cable as you normally would. I am trying to find a way
to eliminate this.

I would like to buy/make a cable that will have a USB connector on one
end and an RJ-45 on the other. I'm not sure if it is as easy as
cutting off a connector on the usb and just terminating the RX/TX/GND
like you can do with a serial cable (DB-9).

I know there may be some issues with going from USB to RS-232
signaling and I could always build some kind of breakout box in the
middle.

Any thoughts?????

- Jay
