Your cart is empty.Don't sacrifice convenience when determining where to place your hardware. A DB9 extension cable can give you the flexibility to extend a computer peripheral wherever you need it. Each extension cable comes fully shielded to prevent unwanted EMI/RFI interference, and the fully molded cable design delivers excellent strain relief. Connector thumbscrews provide a quick and easy connection every time. All lines are wired straight through.

Bought this cable to access the console on a legacy Netgear router. It worked great. The price was very reasonable.

Nice quality cable with a secure fit. Not cheap or flimsy. Works great for my application, just had to unscrew/remove two of the nuts on one end to secure it to one of my connectors. This is not a crossover cable. Be sure to verify the type of cable needed for your particular application when ordering.

Have no issues with this product.As an aside, I notice that iTach is about to release a product that works with its own serial cable and auto configures it as to whether it is NULL, or not. Kinda cool, and I wish that technology had been around when I was messing with serial cables a lot. Still nice for connecting to AV equipment that is controllable by a COM port today.

It is a component that is necessary in situations. It works and at a lower cost than you'll find most places. It is hard to say much more about such items. Solid quality. It works the way it should.

I used to use DB series connectors quite a bit in the "old" days of computing. Now, everything is either wireless or USB. Currently, I'm trying to get a 20 year old computer back up and I needed an RS-232 interface using the DB-9 connectors like on this cable. I used to make my own cables but, for this price, it's not worth the time even if you already have the parts. There are always two important considerations when buying cables like this, the pinout and the gender of each end. The gender was fine. Pins 2 and 3 are the RX and TX lines on one end and must mate with the corresponding TX and RX, respectively, on the other end. Since there wasn't any wiring diagram, I didn't know how the cable was actually wired so I just took my chances. There are also other pins used for "handshaking", which I did not need. So, I don't know whether or not they were "wired" in this cable but I have to assume so. I could have simply "rung out" the cable, but I'm an old man and rigging cables means less time for doing things I really have to do. After I had hooked up one end to my PC, I used a scope to verify whether pin 2 or 3 was the TX line. It was correct for what I needed and communications between my PC and RS-232 simulator worked fine. I have purchased a number of things from "Cables to Go", mostly through Amazon, and have found them to be of high quality and very reasonably priced especially when you get free Amazon shipping if you have "Amazon Prime".

Had to console into HP and Zyxel switches. I find console access way faster and easier than using the gui. Worked exactly as expected.

Not much to say. This cable is a DB9 Serial extension cable and it does that just fine. No issues in about 2 months of use. Construction quality is good. The only weird thing is that both male and female ends of the cable I received had screws on them (and not nuts on one side) so depending on your application you might need to through some nut barrels on there to mate with another connector.

I bought this to use with my Olympus digital 10-year-old dinosaur of a camera (it still takes superb pics) because the original cord wasn't long enough. This was exactly what I needed. The camera's original cord is a serial port, which this works with perfectly. It's basically an extension cord on my desk. The price is just great. I couldn't live without it.
