Connector Information

This cable uses a Mini DIN8 male connector on one end and a DB9 female connector on the other end. The Mini DIN8 side connects to compatible serial devices, while the DB9 female side connects to standard RS232 serial ports, adapters, or control equipment.

Mini DIN8 and DB9 wiring can vary by device, so compatibility should be verified with the equipment manual or wiring requirements before use. For connectivity to USB-C use Cable 71841 or USB-A use Cable 71811.
