OpenGear console server console cabling question

I've found some opengear equipment that I'm interested in purchasing. The datasheet for the model I'm looking at lists the ports as Cisco straight. Can I use just normal cat6 cables to connect from the console server to the consoles on the devices, or do I need to use roll-over cables? Distance between the devices and the console server is about 15 ft.

The model has a cellular option. I'm thinking of using that to VPN back into an server at our main office site as a means of OOB access if the main network goes down.
