Extension Cable for EGA Monitor or Serial Mouse

This StarTech.com MXT100 cable extends an EGA monitor connection or a serial mouse link by six feet. It carries a DB9 male connector on one end and a DB9 female connector on the other. The straight-through wiring preserves the pinout for compatible peripherals.

Suits legacy peripheral extensions.

It fits users who need a longer reach between an existing DB9 port and a matching DB9 device such as an EGA monitor or a serial mouse. It is not for installations that require a crossover cable to connect two DTE ports directly.

Straight-through DB9 male-to-female wiring

The single specification that decides fit is the straight-through DB9 male-to-female pin arrangement, which matches standard peripheral extensions but will not work for a direct DTE-to-DTE link.

Questions about this item

Does the StarTech MXT100 include any adapters or screws, or must I buy them separately?

The cable ships with a DB9 male connector on one end and a DB9 female connector on the other. No extra adapters or mounting hardware are included.

Is the 6 ft length the only option for the MXT100, or are other lengths sold under the same model?

The MXT100 is offered in a single 6 ft length. Other lengths carry different model numbers.

Will this DB9 male-to-female cable carry a standard RS-232 signal between a PC and a modem?

Yes, it is a straight-through RS-232 cable wired pin-to-pin, so it passes the full DB9 signal set for serial mice, EGA monitors or modem links.
