Description

StarTech NM9MM DB9 RS232 Serial Null Modem Adapter - M/M

Overview

The StarTech NM9MM is a passive DB9 (9-pin) male-to-male null modem adapter. It facilitates direct serial communication between two DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) devices, such as connecting a computer to a console port on network equipment or interfacing with legacy industrial control systems. This adapter is essential for troubleshooting or configuring devices that rely on serial RS232 connections, bypassing the need for complex cabling or software emulation. Its compact, white form factor ensures it doesn't add significant bulk to your setup.

Compatibility

This adapter is compatible with any system or device featuring standard DB9 male or female serial ports that require a null modem configuration for direct DTE-to-DTE communication. This includes many industrial controllers, network switches, routers, servers, and older computing peripherals. It functions as a passive adapter, requiring no drivers or software, and is designed for direct serial data transfer.

Installation Notes

The NM9MM requires no external power or drivers. Simply connect the male DB9 connector of the adapter to a female DB9 port on one device and the other male DB9 connector to a female DB9 port on the second device. Ensure both devices are configured for serial communication and that a null modem connection is appropriate for their intended interaction. The adapter's small dimensions (2.0 in x 1.3 in x 0.6 in) allow for installation in tight spaces.
