SHIVERPEAKS S/CONN maximum connectivity Gender Changer, 2 x 9-pin D-SUB Female to Female (78254)

When a standard serial cable won't reach, the SHIVERPEAKS S/CONN maximum connectivity Gender Changer turns two male 9-pin D-SUB ends into a secure, straight-through link. Unlike flimsy plastic adapters, this coupler uses a nickel-plated metal shell and gold-plated contacts to keep RS-232 connections stable even in industrial environments.

Highlights

• Female-to-female 9-pin D-SUB gender changer
• Straight-through pinout (1:1) for transparent signal extension
• Nickel-plated metal housing with PBT insulator
• Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and ensure reliable data transfer
• UNC 4-40 screw locks for vibration-proof mating
• RoHS compliant, operating range -20°C to +85°C

In daily use

This adapter is ideal for extending RS-232 serial connections, joining two cables with male connectors, or converting a panel-mount male port to accept a standard male cable. The metal body withstands frequent plugging and harsh conditions, while gold plating maintains signal integrity over long service life.
