StarTech 25 ft Null Modem Cable

The StarTech SCNM9FF25 is a 25 ft cross-wired serial cable with DB9 female connectors at both ends. It is built for technicians and integrators who need a direct null-modem link between two DTE devices such as legacy PCs, industrial controllers or network gear.

Cross-wired DB9 female-to-female pinout

The cable uses a null-modem wiring scheme so transmit and receive lines are swapped internally. This pinout is the single specification that determines compatibility; it will not work as a straight-through extension for a modem or other DCE equipment.

Simple plug-in installation

Each end mates with a standard DB9 male port and uses thumbscrews for a secure fit. The main installation issue is accidentally using a straight-through cable when a null-modem link is required, which results in no data flow.

Questions about this item

What does the 25 ft length mean for a serial cable in a real setup?

The 25 ft length gives you enough reach to link two DB9 serial ports across a desk or rack without needing an extender.

How does the cross-wired null modem wiring affect the DB9 female connectors?

The cross-wired design connects transmit to receive on each end, so two DTE devices such as PCs can communicate directly without a modem.

What do the two DB9 female connectors require to mount or fit?

Each DB9 female connector mates with a standard 9-pin male serial port and uses thumb screws to secure the connection.
