I believe it's now a zero-cost option, along with things like the pack of documentation.  SPs were complaining in the other direction that they had cupboards full of cables, DB9 adapters, and "how to set up your first Cisco router" / "why plugging mains into the Ethernet port is Bad" booklets in 20 languages...

At one point, "green" and "regular" part numbers were mooted, but I think that's now gone.

Just checked the latest delivery of boxes next to me (2911s), and I do indeed have power cables, "read me first", and rack ears, but no console.

Regards,
Tim.
