C2G 02947 Modular Adapter - RJ-45 to DB9 Serial Converter
Overview
The C2G 02947 is a modular adapter designed to bridge the gap between modern network cabling and legacy serial devices. It allows you to extend serial data transmission using standard RJ-45 Ethernet infrastructure, making it ideal for integrating older industrial equipment, point-of-sale systems, or network management consoles into a network environment without requiring new serial ports on your switches or routers. This adapter facilitates the conversion from an RJ-45 connection to a female DB9 serial port, simplifying the deployment of serial devices over longer distances than traditional serial cables permit.
Compatibility
This adapter is designed for use with standard RJ-45 Ethernet cabling (Cat5e, Cat6, etc.) and any device featuring a female DB9 serial port. It functions as a passive adapter, meaning it does not require external power and relies on the signal integrity of the connected devices and cabling. It is compatible with serial communication protocols that operate within the voltage and data rate limits of standard RS-232 signaling.
Installation Notes
Ensure that the RJ-45 side is connected to the appropriate network port or adapter that can translate serial signals over Ethernet. The female DB9 connector mates directly with standard male DB9 serial cables. Verify that the pinout of the RJ-45 connection on the other end of your Ethernet cable is correctly mapped to the DB9 serial interface for proper data flow. This adapter is intended for data signal extension only and does not provide power over the serial interface.
