DB9Pin M to DC3.5mm Serial RS232 Cable 6feet DB9Pin to 3.5mm Serial Cable L= 6FT Black

Bottom line: The DB9Pin M to DC3.5mm Serial RS232 Cable 6feet DB9Pin to 3.5mm Serial: Reuses existing 3.5mm stereo runs instead of pulling new RS-232 cable; main trade-off: listing text contradicts itself, naming 2.5mm in some lines and 3.5mm in others.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Reuses existing 3.5mm stereo runs instead of pulling new RS-232 cable
  • ✓ Full shielding on the run guards the signal against EMI/RFI pickup
  • ✓ Molded DB9 and 3.5mm shells give both ends strain relief
  • ✓ Published pinout: pin 2 tip, pin 3 ring, pin 5 shield, pins 1/4/6-9 open

Cons

  • ✗ Listing text contradicts itself, naming 2.5mm in some lines and 3.5mm in others
  • ✗ Only 3 conductors, so there is no hardware flow control (RTS/CTS)
  • ✗ Sold in a single 6ft length with no shorter or longer option listed
  • ✗ Seller asks you to verify the pinout diagram, so it may not match your device
