Interface card Gembird CC-DB9ML-01

The Gembird CC-DB9ML-01 is an internal serial interface card that lets you add a DB9 serial port to a desktop PC. It connects to the motherboard via a 10-pin IDC flat cable and mounts on a low-profile metal bracket. The card is available in black, grey and silver and uses passive cooling for quiet operation.

Advantages

The card provides a standard DB9M serial connector on a low-profile bracket for easy installation in compact cases. Its IDC 10-pin internal flat cable ensures a direct motherboard connection without external adapters. The passive cooling design requires no additional fans and contributes to silent operation.

Suitable for

• Connecting legacy serial devices (modems, barcode scanners, industrial controllers)
• Systems with limited space requiring a low-profile bracket
• Internal PC upgrades where a motherboard serial header is available

How to use

Power off the PC and open the case. Locate a free serial header on the motherboard and connect the IDC 10-pin flat cable from the card to the header, observing pin orientation. Secure the card's low-profile bracket to the case rear panel. Close the case, power on the system, and install any necessary drivers or configure the serial port in the operating system if required.

Recommendations

Ensure the motherboard has a compatible 10-pin serial header before purchase. Handle the IDC cable and connector carefully to avoid bent pins; verify pin alignment when connecting. For full compatibility with older devices, check device settings (baud rate, parity, stop bits) in the operating system.
