DB9 RS232 Serial Cable M/F StarTech.com MXT1001MBK

The StarTech.com DB9 RS232 Serial Cable M/F (MXT1001MBK) is a 1 meter straight-through extension cable with a DB9 male connector on one end and a DB9 female connector on the other. It is designed to extend the connection between RS232 serial devices, allowing peripherals to be positioned up to 1 meter farther from the host device. The cable is CE and RoHS certified and is supplied in a compact, lightweight package.

Advantages

This DB9 extension cable provides a reliable, straightforward solution for increasing the reach of serial connections without signal reconfiguration. The straight-through wiring maintains standard pin mapping for RS232 devices, while the cable shielding reduces EMI interference. Constructed from quality materials and covered by StarTech.com's lifetime warranty, it is intended for dependable long-term use.

Suitable for

• Extending RS232 serial connections between PCs, routers, modems, and serial peripherals
• Replacing or lengthening existing DB9 cables where a straight-through pinout is required
• Short-distance serial device repositioning in offices, labs, or industrial settings

How to use

Connect the DB9 male end to the serial port of the host device and attach the DB9 female end to the serial device or cable you wish to extend. Ensure connectors are fully seated and, if present, secure any mounting screws to prevent accidental disconnection. Verify communication settings (baud rate, parity, stop bits) on both devices to match the existing serial link requirements.

Usage recommendations

Use this straight-through DB9 extension cable only when the connected devices require a standard RS232 pinout. Do not use it as a null-modem cable. For environments with high electromagnetic interference, route the cable away from large power sources and maintain secure connections to minimize data errors.
