Shuttle PCP11 COM port RS232 adapter cable for PCs 0.21m 9 pin D-Sub

The Shuttle PCP11 is an RS232 COM port adapter cable for Shuttle XPC systems, providing an external 9‑pin D‑Sub (male) serial port via an internal 10‑pin (2×5) motherboard header. The 0.21 m ribbon cable enables installation of one additional COM port on compatible Shuttle all‑in‑one and slim barebones when more serial interfaces are required or when an existing VGA port is replaced.

Advantages

The adapter delivers a standard Sub‑D 9‑pin male connector for legacy RS232 devices while using a compact internal 10‑pin (2×5) female connector with 2 mm pitch. It includes fixing screws and an installation guide for straightforward mounting. The short 21 cm ribbon cable keeps internal routing tidy and reduces signal exposure inside the chassis.

Suitable for

• Shuttle XPC all‑in‑one P20U / P22U / P51U / P52U series to expand from two to four COM ports
• Shuttle XPC slim DS10U / DS20U series when replacing the VGA port to add a second COM port
• Shuttle XPC slim XH410G / XH510G / XH510G2 series to install an additional rear COM port
• Connecting legacy RS232 equipment such as industrial controllers, POS devices, or measurement instruments

How to use

Power off the PC and open the chassis. Locate the compatible internal 10‑pin COM header on the Shuttle motherboard or the designated connector area for the target model. Connect the adapter’s 10‑pin female plug to the motherboard header, route the 0.21 m ribbon cable to the rear panel opening, and secure the external 9‑pin D‑Sub connector to the chassis using the supplied UNC 4‑40 screws. If installing in a DS10U/DS20U and replacing the VGA port, remove the VGA bracket first and install the PCP11 in its place. Close the chassis and power on the system to use the additional RS232 port.

Recommendations

Use the PCP11 for short internal routing only; avoid bending the ribbon cable sharply. Verify COM port settings in the BIOS/OS and confirm appropriate grounding when connecting sensitive industrial equipment.
