    Are these 3 items interchangeable?

    1. Grey USB console cable shipped with MC7205
    2. Black USB console cable shipped with AP375
    3. Orange USB console cable purchased as AP-CBL-SERU

    Grey and Black USB cables are purely USB to MicroUSB cables. The orange cable is a special cable that has the SerialConsole embedded in the cable assembly and only works for the APs that have a microusb port with an orange caution triangle next to the port.

    Just following up to say that the AP515 does not have a "orange caution triangle" beside the USB port.

    Yup, they have a square icon with an exlamation, point being the serialized USB cable has a caution icon on it to be aware it uses a special cable.
