DB9 Female to RJ45 8-Wire Modular Adapter – Ivory
Configurable DB9 female to RJ45 modular adapter for custom RS232 serial wiring, industrial equipment connections, and legacy communication systems.
The Industrial Netware DB9 Female to RJ45 8-Wire Modular Adapter provides a convenient solution for connecting compatible DB9 serial equipment to an 8-position RJ45 modular interface.
Featuring a DB9 female connector and an RJ45 female jack, this adapter includes eight color-coded 28 AWG wires terminated with individual loose crimp contacts. The contacts can be inserted into the required DB9 positions, allowing technicians to create equipment-specific serial wiring configurations without soldering.
The molded ivory housing provides a compact, enclosed assembly, while integrated thumbscrews help secure the DB9 connection to compatible equipment.
This adapter is well suited for industrial automation systems, serial console connections, legacy RS232 devices, equipment maintenance, and custom serial cable assemblies.

Installation Information
Determine the correct DB9 pin assignments from the connected equipment's documentation before inserting the loose crimp contacts. Verify the wiring configuration before connecting the adapter to equipment.
Important: This is a passive wiring adapter, not an RS232-to-Ethernet converter. It does not change signal levels, convert communication protocols, or provide an Ethernet network connection. Compatibility depends on the selected pin assignments and connected equipment.
