New Cisco routers and switches have also usb ports for console access :

You can see here two usb ports. On the left is a usb-host port, which is used like Mark said for flash drives or strong auth, and on the right, in the blue square is a usb slave port, which will appear to the computer as a usb to serial device.

They are used for Flash Modules and eToken Hardware, amongst other things.
