RS Pro 9 Way D-sub Male, RJ45 Female Adapter

The RS Pro 314-8228 is a specialised RJ45 female adapter designed to bridge the connectivity gap between legacy D-sub interfaces and modern RJ45 twisted-pair cabling. This converter features a 9-way D-sub male connector on one end and an RJ45 female socket on the other, allowing serial or networking signals typically carried over D-sub to be easily extended or terminated using standard Ethernet cables. It simplifies custom wiring and setup in communication networks, providing a versatile, essential solution for system integrators and technicians across various environments.

Benefits of Using the RS Pro 314-8228 D-sub Male, RJ45 Female Adapter

This adapter drastically simplifies complex serial cabling by enabling the use of readily available, cost-effective RJ45 patch cables for D-sub connections. It provides a flexible solution for extending or relocating serial communication equipment without requiring custom or proprietary cables, saving installation time and significantly reducing field inventory and maintenance complexity.
