StarTech GC98MF - Modular adapter, Black

The StarTech GC98MF DB9 (male) to RJ45 (female) modular adapter allows for a direct physical connection between traditional serial ports and structured networking cabling. This unit connects legacy equipment with 9-pin serial outputs to modern environments wired with 8P8C jacks. By bridging these interfaces, it enables administrators to route serial signals over existing IT infrastructure. As a passive pin-out converter, it does not process data or require external power.

This connector is suitable for setups already using modular patch panels. Its black housing is designed to match standard rackmount hardware. Using this adapter removes the need to replace functional legacy equipment when updating a building's cabling. As the unit simply terminates or reroutes lines, it requires no complex network configuration. The device is RoHS, CE, and REACH compliant, meeting relevant environmental and safety standards.
