Description

StarTech SCNM9FF Null Modem Cable

Overview

The StarTech SCNM9FF is a 10-foot null modem cable designed for direct serial communication between two DTE or DCE devices. This cable is essential for tasks such as transferring files between computers, configuring network equipment, or connecting legacy serial peripherals where a direct point-to-point connection is required. Its gray color and standard DB9 connectors ensure broad compatibility with industrial control systems, older networking gear, and diagnostic tools. The SCNM9FF model facilitates direct data exchange without the need for a modem.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any serial device utilizing standard 9-pin RS-232 ports. It is suitable for connecting various industrial automation components, point-of-sale systems, and diagnostic equipment that require a null modem serial connection. Use this cable for direct PC-to-PC file transfers or for configuring devices like routers, switches, and firewalls that offer a console port.

Installation Notes

The cable features nickel-plated DB9 connectors for reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance. Its 10-foot length provides adequate reach for most desk-side or rack-mounted equipment connections. The null modem configuration means pins are crossed internally to allow for direct communication between two serial ports, simulating a modem connection without the modem itself.
