The StarTech GC98FF is a passive adapter designed to convert a standard DB9 serial port connection to an RJ45 network connector. This allows for the integration of modular RS232, RS422, and RS485 devices into systems that utilize RJ45 cabling infrastructure, simplifying wiring and extending reach in industrial control, automation, and legacy serial device deployments. The compact form factor of the GC98FF means it adds minimal bulk to your serial device connections.
This adapter is compatible with any serial device featuring a DB9 serial port, including many industrial controllers, network switches, routers, and legacy POS systems. It is suitable for use with RS232, RS422, and RS485 serial communication protocols. It functions as a passive wiring adapter, requiring no drivers or software, and is designed to work with standard RJ45 Ethernet cabling.
The GC98FF is a passive adapter and requires no external power. Installation involves physically connecting the DB9 end to the serial port of your device and the RJ45 end to an appropriate RJ45 serial converter or directly to a network cable if the receiving end is terminated for serial communication. Ensure correct pinout mapping is maintained at the receiving end for RS232, RS422, or RS485 protocols.
