InLine Slot Bracket DB9 Male to 10-Pin Internal Header Cable 0.6m

The InLine Slot Bracket DB9 Male to 10-Pin Internal Header Cable 0.6m is designed to route an internal motherboard serial port to the outside of your computer case as a standard 9-pin Sub-D port. Featuring a direct 1:1 connection mapping from the 10-pin internal header to the DB9 male connector, this grey cable ensures reliable data transmission for various serial communication tasks. With a convenient length of 0.6 meters, it allows for flexible and tidy internal routing, while UL certification provides an added standard of safety and quality for professional and private system setups.

Advantages

This slot bracket cable provides a straightforward solution for expanding legacy serial connectivity without requiring complex configuration or software modifications. Its direct 1:1 pin assignment guarantees correct signal routing straight out of the box. The generous 0.6-meter length ensures sufficient reach inside most standard and compact enclosures, accommodating flexible cable management. Furthermore, the inclusion of a low-profile slot bracket makes it highly adaptable for compact system builds, ensuring that expansion slots are used efficiently while maintaining secure external access to COM functionality.

Suitable for

• Connecting legacy serial devices such as industrial controllers or programming tools
• Expanding motherboard serial port capabilities in office or laboratory environments
• System maintenance and hardware diagnostics utilizing serial interfaces
• IT service deployments requiring external COM port access on standard or compact enclosures

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not suitable for systems that lack an internal 10-pin serial motherboard header or require non-standard pinout configurations different from the 1:1 mapping provided. It should also be avoided in setups that demand USB-based communication or parallel port connectivity, as it is strictly engineered for traditional serial interfaces.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.6 meters
• Connector 1: DB9 male
• Connector 2: 10-pin internal female header
• Pin configuration: Direct 1:1 mapping with pin 10 unconfigured
• Product colour: Grey
• Form factor: Low-profile slot bracket
• Certification: UL

How to use

To install the cable, power down and unplug your computer system, then open the chassis according to the manufacturer instructions. Locate an available low-profile expansion slot on the back of the case and remove the slot cover. Secure the metal slot bracket to the case using a screw or retention mechanism. Next, plug the 10-pin female connector directly onto the corresponding serial COM header on your motherboard, ensuring correct orientation according to your motherboard manual. Route the cable carefully away from moving components like cooling fans, close the computer case, and you are ready to connect external serial devices to the newly accessible DB9 port.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your motherboard features an internal 10-pin serial header available for connection
• Check the physical dimensions of your computer case to ensure compatibility with low-profile slot brackets
• Confirm that your external peripherals require a standard 9-pin DB9 serial interface

Usage recommendations: Ensure the system is completely powered off and disconnected from the mains electricity before performing any internal installations. Handle the internal header connector with care to avoid bending motherboard pins during attachment.
