MX DB 09P Male To DB 25P Female 9-Core Moulded Modem Cable 1.5 Meter (MX-2047)

RS-232 serial equipment has been built with both 9-pin and 25-pin D-sub connectors over the decades, and this cable bridges the two directly - a DB9 male plugs into a modern serial port while the DB25 female end accepts older modem or peripheral equipment still using the larger connector standard. Rather than hunting down a separate 9-to-25 adaptor and a straight cable, this combines both into one moulded cable that goes straight from one connector standard to the other. It's a specific but genuinely necessary part for anyone bridging modern serial hardware to a piece of equipment that predates the 9-pin standard becoming the norm.
