## Long description

The StarTech.com PNL9M16 16-inch IDC Serial to Panel Mount Serial Cable converts a 10-pin IDC motherboard serial header into a panel-mount DB9 male RS-232 connector.

Advantages
This cable extends a motherboard IDC serial interface to a panel-mount DB9 male connector, enabling the connection of legacy RS‑232 devices to modern systems. It is a compact, lightweight (approx. 17 g) and cost-effective solution for integrating devices that use a 9‑pin serial connection. The product is backed by the StarTech.com lifetime warranty.
Suitable for
 Adding a DB9 RS‑232 panel port to a computer with a 10‑pin IDC serial header
