Serial slot bracket InLine 9-pin male to 10-pin internal female 1:1 cable, 0.6 m, grey

The InLine serial slot bracket provides a 9-pin male D-sub external connector wired 1:1 to a 10-pin internal female connector, enabling an external RS-232 style serial port from an internal motherboard header. The assembly includes a 0.6 m grey cable, a metal slot bracket formatted to fit a PCI/expansion slot, and is UL certified. The product is supplied as a single pack and weighs approximately 35 g.

Advantages

This slot bracket offers a straightforward physical interface to expose an internal 10-pin serial header as a standard external 9-pin Sub-D port. The 1:1 wiring preserves standard pin assignments for common serial peripherals and legacy equipment. The 0.6 m cable length provides flexibility for routing inside typical PC cases while the slim bracket design mounts directly into a PCI/expansion slot without additional adapters.

How to use

Install the bracket into a free PCI or expansion slot on the computer chassis and secure it with the existing slot screw. Inside the case, plug the 10-pin female internal connector onto the corresponding motherboard serial header, ensuring correct orientation of the connector. Route the 0.6 m cable to avoid contact with fans or sharp edges. After connection, power on the system and verify that any required serial port settings or drivers are configured in the operating system or BIOS as needed.

Recommendations

Confirm the motherboard header pinout matches the standard serial pin assignments before connection. Avoid forcing the internal connector; align pins carefully to prevent bent contacts. For reliable operation, keep the cable away from strong EMI sources and secure the bracket properly in the expansion slot.
