DB9 Female-to-Female Gender Changer

The StarTech.com GC9SF is a slimline DB9 gender changer that converts a 9-pin male serial port into a 9-pin female connection. It provides a direct female-to-female interface for joining two male cables or adapting a male port on legacy equipment. The compact black adapter adds no cable length and weighs 0.03 kg.

Extending or Adapting Male DB9 Connections

This adapter suits technicians maintaining serial infrastructure who need to link two male-terminated cables or convert a male port for a female plug. It is not for situations requiring a male-to-female gender change, a male-to-male connection, or conversion to a different connector standard such as DB25 or USB.

DB9 Female Connector on Both Ends

The defining specification is the dual DB9 female pinout that accepts only 9-pin male connectors. Buyers must verify their cables or ports are male DB9 before purchase; the changer cannot mate with female ports or any other pin count.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the F/F version or is there an M/M option for my DB9 port?

This model is a female-to-female DB9 gender changer; it converts a 9 pin male port to a 9 pin female port.

What does the 9 pin conversion actually do when I plug it into my serial device?

It lets you connect two male DB9 cables or adapt a male serial port so a female connector fits, without changing the signal wiring.

Does the DB9 interface limit the serial speed to a specific baud rate?

The DB9 connector itself does not cap the baud rate; the serial controller and cable quality determine the practical speed.
