Description

StarTech SCNM9FM1MBK 1m DB9 Null Modem Cable

Overview

The StarTech SCNM9FM1MBK is a 1-meter (3.3 ft) DB9 null modem cable designed to directly connect two serial devices, such as a computer to a serial printer or a control system to a console port. This cable is essential for direct device-to-device serial communication where a standard serial crossover (null modem) configuration is required for file transfer or terminal emulation. Its 28 AWG wire gauge ensures reliable signal integrity for serial data transmission in industrial control, network management, or legacy equipment integration scenarios.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any serial device requiring a DB9 null modem connection. It is commonly used for connecting PCs to other PCs, PCs to serial peripherals (like older printers or plotters), or for console access to network equipment such as routers, switches, and firewalls. The female-to-female (FM) connectors facilitate direct connection between two male DB9 ports.

Installation Notes

The cable features standard DB9 connectors, requiring no special tools for installation. Simply plug the female connector into the male serial port of one device and the other female connector into the male serial port of the second device. The 1-meter length provides adequate reach for most point-to-point connections without excessive cable slack. The black, 28 AWG construction is durable for regular use.
