Then, you can just use your existing USB-C to RJ45 cable and have both options.
Buy it pre-made. The pinout isn't perfectly 1:1 - a single ground on the DB9 side goes to two grounds on the RJ45 side. This makes it a nuisance to make your own dongles. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002DUD1RY The price is rude but Cisco hasn't made them for many years, so you get what you get. You can also connect one of the newer db9 to rj45 blue cables to a usb-c to rj45 cable using a reverse inline coupler: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000I97FNI Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin bill@herrin.us https://bill.herrin.us/
