4.5 Feet DB9 (9 Pin) Female to DB25 (25 Pin) Male Empty Modem Serial Parallel Printer Cable YOUCHENG for DTE PC Mac Linux Data Transmission Communication

Bottom line: The 4.5 Feet DB9: Null modem wiring crosses TX/RX (DB9 pin 2 to DB25 pin 3, pin 3 to pin 2); main trade-off: listing calls the DB25 end both male and female; confirm the gender your port needs.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Null modem wiring crosses TX/RX (DB9 pin 2 to DB25 pin 3, pin 3 to pin 2)
  • ✓ DB9 female to DB25 male joins a 9-pin PC serial port to a 25-pin serial device
  • ✓ 4.5 ft (140 cm) run reaches a printer or second PC on the same desk
  • ✓ Full pin-by-pin map published, so you can check the wiring before you connect
  • ✓ Nickel-plated connectors with injection-molded PVC housings

Cons

  • ✗ Listing calls the DB25 end both male and female; confirm the gender your port needs
  • ✗ Null modem wiring fails on devices that expect a straight-through serial cable
  • ✗ 4.5 ft is short for a printer or terminal across the room
  • ✗ RS-232 only; PCs without a serial port need a USB-to-serial adapter
