RJ45 to RJ45 Console Cable

I saw there is RJ45 to RJ45 console cable is available on Cisco site.  It has RJ45 connector at both the ends.

It looks like this:-



But How can we use it?

Can we connect it to our laptop's ethernet port?
   
Then, after lot of research I came to know that we cannot use this cable direct with laptop.

We have to have a RJ45 to DB9 connector (if DB9 is available on the machine) and another adaptor DB9 to USB incase DB9 is not available in your machine.            

RJ45 to RJ45 cable is used for access server with RJ45 ports like Digiport server or Blackbox console device to Cisco device connectivity.                 


The pinouts for RJ45 to RJ45 console cable is given below:-
