Purpose & Audience

The Opengear 319015 is a DB9F to RJ45 crossover serial adapter built to connect a PC or DTE device to network equipment such as a Cisco router or a modem. It serves administrators and technicians who need a direct console link for configuration or troubleshooting without a dedicated serial port on the host.

Installation & Common Issues

The six-inch cable plugs straight into a DB-9 female serial port and an RJ-45 female network jack, requiring no drivers or external power for the physical link. The short length keeps the cabling tidy but can strain the connectors if the two devices are not positioned close together, and the crossover pinout will not work with a straight-through cable requirement.

Interface Limits

The adapter passes asynchronous serial signalling over the RJ-45 interface using the Cisco straight pinout, so it is limited to the baud rates and voltage levels supported by the connected serial port. It does not convert Ethernet packets and cannot be used for standard network traffic, nor does it provide the longer reach that a full-length patch cable would allow.
