## Long description

The StarTech.com Serial DB9 RS232 Extender (RS232EXTC1EU) extends an RS232 serial connection over Cat 5 (or better) cabling up to 1000 meters (3300 ft), allowing serial peripheral devices to be located far from the host system. The compact, hardware-only unit supports standard RS232 signaling and uses DC power; it has a DB9 serial output and a VGA host interface, and comes in a silver finish. Installation requires no software or drivers, enabling a plug-and-play setup over existing or new Ethernet cabling.
Advantages
This RS232 over Cat 5 extender provides a cost-effective way to increase RS232 cable reach by up to 65× compared with typical serial cable limits, while preserving RS232 protocol compatibility and supporting data rates up to 230 Kbps. The purely hardware design removes the need for additional software, simplifying deployment. Its small footprint and standard interfaces make it easy to integrate into industrial, commercial, or institutional environments.
Suitable for
Industrial monitoring and control systems
Point-of-sale (POS) terminals and peripherals
Security and access control installations
Medical device connections where distance is required

How to use
Connect the host-side unit to the host device using the VGA host interface and connect the remote-side DB9 to the serial peripheral. Link the two units with Cat 5 (or better) cable up to 1000 meters. Apply DC power to each unit. Once powered, the hardware-based extender establishes the serial link without installing drivers or software. Verify serial settings (baud rate, parity, stop bits) on both host and peripheral to match required communication parameters.
Usage recommendations
For best performance, use shielded or high-quality Cat 5e/Cat 6 cabling and avoid running the cable alongside high-voltage lines. Confirm that the chosen data rate and serial settings are supported by both host and peripheral devices; lower baud rates may improve reliability over very long runs. Keep the remote unit away from excessive heat or moisture and place control equipment in separate rooms when environmental protection is needed.
