Product Features
Technical Overview
This data transfer cable features a DB-9 male connector on one end and a 10-pin IDC female connector on the other, ensuring secure connections for serial data transfer. The 1.3-foot cable length offers flexibility in routing within computer cases or enclosures, while the low-profile bracket fits standard chassis configurations.
The cable is constructed with RoHS-compliant materials, meeting environmental standards for hazardous substance restriction. Its lightweight design at 0.85 ounces minimizes strain on motherboard connections, and the gray finish provides a neutral appearance that blends with most hardware components.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Length, Connector Type on First End, Connector on First End Details, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.
Key Product Advantages
The PLATE9M16LP offers several advantages for system integrators and IT professionals needing reliable serial connectivity in constrained spaces. Its design prioritizes both performance and compatibility with modern motherboard layouts.
These strengths make the product easier to deploy and manage in real environments, especially where reliability, usability, and day-to-day operational continuity matter. Notable benefits include Secure Motherboard Connection, Space-Efficient Design.
Secure Motherboard Connection
The IDC female connector establishes a firm connection with motherboard headers, reducing the risk of loose contacts that can disrupt data transmission.
- 10-pin IDC interface
- Compatible with standard motherboard headers
Space-Efficient Design
The low-profile bracket allows installation in slim or compact cases where full-height brackets cannot fit, expanding deployment options for serial port requirements.
- Fits low-profile chassis
- Minimizes footprint
Deployment / Use Cases
This serial port bracket is ideal for scenarios where legacy serial devices need to interface with modern motherboards that include IDC headers. It serves as a practical solution for maintaining serial connectivity in updated or custom-built systems.
Common applications include industrial control systems, point-of-sale terminals, networking equipment, and diagnostic tools that rely on DB-9 serial ports. The low-profile design makes it particularly useful in rack-mounted servers, embedded systems, or small form factor PCs where space optimization is critical.
