1m DB9 Male-Female Serial Cable

The StarTech.com MXT1001MBK is a straight-through extension cable with a DB-9 male connector on one end and a DB-9 female connector on the other. It measures 3 ft (1 m) and features moulded connectors for strain relief. This cable extends an existing RS-232 serial link between DTE and DCE devices.

Suits legacy serial equipment needing a pin-to-pin

Technicians maintaining industrial controllers, networking gear or point-of-sale systems that use a standard DB-9 port will find this cable fits directly. It does not cross transmit and receive lines, so it cannot connect two DTE ports or two DCE ports without an additional adapter.

Straight-through pin wiring decides compatibility

The cable carries each pin straight through from male to female. If the application requires a null-modem crossover or a gender changer, this cable will not work on its own.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 1 m black DB9 male-to-female version for a standard serial extension?

Yes — this model is a 1 m straight-through cable with a DB9 male connector on one end and a DB9 female connector on the other, designed to extend an existing serial link.

What does the 1 m length mean when the cable is installed between two devices?

The 1 m (3 ft) length gives roughly one metre of reach between the male and female DB9 ports, allowing a short extension without excess slack.

Does the DB9 RS232 interface limit the maximum data rate I can use?

The cable is a passive straight-through DB9 RS232 assembly; the signalling rate is determined by the connected UARTs, not by the cable itself.
