Cable gender changer DeLOCK 65266

The DeLOCK 65266 cable gender changer is a compact adapter with two Sub-D 9 pin (DB9) female connectors that allows you to change the polarity of a serial connection. It is designed to angle the female port of a serial device by 90°, making it easier to connect cables when the device's connector is hard to reach. The adapter is black and built for reliable, everyday use with serial devices.

Advantages

The adapter provides a simple mechanical solution to access constrained serial ports by redirecting the connector orientation by 90°. Its two Sub-D 9 pin connectors maintain standard serial signaling and ensure compatibility with DB9 serial cables and devices. The compact, robust design reduces strain on connectors in tight installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting two devices with Sub-D 9 pin (DB9) serial interfaces
• Situations where the device's female serial port is difficult to access
• Temporary or permanent inline gender changing of serial cables

Key specifications

• Connector 1: Sub-D 9 pin (female)
• Connector 2: Sub-D 9 pin (female)
• Colour: Black
• Manufacturer: DELOCK, MPN 65266

How to use

Align the adapter's Sub-D 9 pin female connector with the device's male serial port and gently push until it seats. Connect your serial cable to the other female connector. The adapter redirects the cable by 90° relative to the device port; ensure connector pins and screws (if applicable) are properly engaged to secure the connection.

Recommendations

Use the adapter to relieve mechanical stress on device ports in confined spaces and avoid excessive force when mating connectors. For best results, pair with standard DB9 serial cables and avoid using the adapter where signal-sensitive or shielded connections require specific grounding practices.
