Description

StarTech SCNM9FF25 25 ft DB9 Serial Null Modem Cable

Overview

The StarTech SCNM9FF25 is a 25-foot, female-to-female DB9 serial null modem cable. This cable is engineered for direct serial device-to-device communication, bypassing the need for a modem. It's ideal for connecting two DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) devices, such as connecting a computer to a network switch for console access, or configuring industrial equipment directly. The SCNM9FF25 provides a reliable, cross-wired serial connection essential for many legacy and specialized industrial control systems.

Compatibility

This null modem cable is compatible with any serial device requiring a DB9 female connector for direct DTE-to-DTE communication. This includes, but is not limited to, connecting to the console port of network switches from brands like Cisco, Juniper, and Arista, as well as industrial automation controllers, point-of-sale systems, and older diagnostic equipment. It functions as a direct serial link, enabling device configuration and management without a network connection.

Installation Notes

The cable features female DB9 connectors on both ends, requiring a male DB9 port on each connected device. The aluminum-mylar foil shielding with drain wire helps minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring data integrity over its 25-foot length. The gray, flexible PVC jacket allows for easy routing in server racks or control cabinets.
