Description

StarTech SCNM9FF2MBK 2M DB9 Null Modem Cable

Overview

The StarTech SCNM9FF2MBK is a 2-meter (6.6 ft) DB9 null modem cable designed to directly connect two serial devices, enabling file transfer and device communication without requiring a modem. This cable is essential for configuring network equipment, industrial controllers, or legacy serial peripherals where direct serial communication is necessary. Its construction supports serial data transfer between devices that would otherwise require modems to communicate.

Compatibility

This null modem cable is compatible with any serial device requiring a DB9 connection for direct communication, including but not limited to: network switches, routers, industrial automation controllers, point-of-sale systems, and older computing hardware. It facilitates direct RS232 serial connections for device configuration and data exchange.

Installation Notes

The cable operates within an ambient temperature range of 0°C to 80°C (32°F to 176°F) and can be stored between -20°C to 80°C (-4°F to 176°F). It requires a humidity level between 15% and 65% (non-condensing). The 28 AWG wire gauge ensures signal integrity over its 2-meter length.
