Cable Gender Changer DeLOCK 66167

The DeLOCK 66167 Cable Gender Changer adapts a Sub-D connector to an RJ-45 connector, allowing a serial interface to be extended over a Cat.5 / 5e / 6 cable. The adapter lets you set the pin assignment individually by inserting the cable conductor into the required connector hole and locking it into the housing. The product is built with a black and blue housing and stainless steel elements for reliable mechanical connection.

Advantages

This gender changer enables flexible extension of serial interfaces using standard network cables and supports individual pin assignment for custom wiring. Its robust construction with stainless steel parts ensures durability and stable connections during repeated use.

Suitable for

• Extending serial (Sub-D) connections over Cat.5 / 5e / 6 cable
