The MXT10050CMBK Black Serial Extension Cable (0.5m) features one DB9 male connector and one DB9 female connector providing a high quality extension for your RS232 serial devices which enables you to position your peripheral devices as needed.
I needed a short rs232 and this solved my problem for a 1 metre cable by adding it to an existing 1/2 metre 25-9 pin cable. It was impossible to find a 1 metre cable to do the job and this cable meant I could finish the job.
