Null modem cables and adapters connect two serial devices that require a null modem (cross-wired) configuration. This 1.83 m (6-ft.) cable has a DB9 female connector on one end and a DB9 male connector on the other, and is considered a "Full Handshake" null modem cable. Superior molded cables with foil-shielding offer maximum EMI/RFI protection. Gold-plated connectors and contacts provide superior conductivity.
