Lantronix ACC-200.0062 RJ45 to DB9F Adapter

Overview

The Lantronix ACC-200.0062 is a serial adapter designed to bridge the gap between legacy serial devices and modern network infrastructure. It facilitates the connection of equipment with a DB9 Male DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) port to devices featuring an RJ45 interface, commonly found on network switches and routers. This adapter is critical for integrating older industrial control systems, network management consoles, or other serial-dependent hardware into IP-based networks without requiring complete equipment replacement. The DCE (Data Communications Equipment) designation on the female DB9 connector ensures proper pinout for direct serial communication.

Compatibility

This adapter is designed for use with any device that requires a DB9 Male DTE serial connection and has an available RJ45 network port. It is commonly employed in scenarios involving Lantronix console servers, network switches, routers, and other network-attached serial devices where a direct serial cable run is impractical or impossible. It ensures compatibility with standard serial communication protocols and hardware interfaces.

Installation Notes

The ACC-200.0062 requires a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable (not included) to connect from the adapter to the network device. The DB9 female connector mates directly with a DB9 male DTE port on the serial equipment. No drivers or software are necessary, as this is a passive adapter. Ensure the RJ45 cable is properly terminated and tested before deployment.
