- Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2024Size: 1 Count (Pack of 2)Verified PurchaseNeeded these for a Point of Sale system that uses older Serial receipt Printers.
This worked perfectly and I highly recommend them
- Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2019Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseThis is a good cable - well built and comes in a old school grey color - perfect if you want to relive the computing of the 80s and 90s. More than the aesthetics, it is also good if you want to connect some equipment from that era.
While StarTech does not provide a pinout, I can confirm that the cable works as a plotter cable (you can google plotter cable pinout to see how those are wired). Not sure about hardware handshaking as my HP 7574A plotter does not use it.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2022Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseThis critter is a Blast from the Past.
Where to begin...?
First off, it has a cable - nothing today uses a "cable"
Bluetooth, WiFi, Network connections, USB connections, near field connections, The Force.
Ok, technically USB and Network connections have cables, too - but, you get the idea.
Second, Nothing new has a 25 pin or 9 pin Cannon connector on it.
So, obviously, we are talking seriously antiquated equipment here.
Surprise - the equipment that I wanna talk to is 30 - 40 years old, phase 4 obsolete = the OEM won't admit that they built it.
Yeah!! Our lab manager scored a piece of equipment on E-Bay, with (drum roll please) an RS232 communication port.
Not just any RS232 port (like the dominant 9 pin port).
He went the extra mile to find sumthun with a 25 pin RS232 port.
Our USB to RS232 adapters are 9 pin...
You can see where this is going.
The RS232 communication protocol was the driving force for creating USB connections.
RS232 does everything - whilst usually not working - at all.
Between Baud Rates, Parity Bit, Stop Bit, hardware handshaking options, etc.. - oh, and, don't forget the null cable option, it was virtually impossible to figure out how to get two pieces of equipment to talk.
Using other adapters and programmable jumpers on additional adapters, I managed to get a kluge cable to work.
This particular product implied that it would do the same thing as my cobbled kluge.
It did.
It is well made.
It should provide better ease of use than my rats nest cable.
BTW - it is mentioned in the sellers information - I'll repeat it anyway.
This is a Null RS232 cable.
The Send Receive lines on the 9 pin and 25 pin connectors are rolled.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2024Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseWe were having problems with this cable and decided to ohm it out. For this cable, pin 3 of the DB25 went to pin 3 of the DB9 and pin 2 of the DB25 went to pin 2 of the DB9. So, they are not crossed over as stated in the very confusing description. I ordered a DB9 cross-over connector to fix this.

Aki MäntyläReviewed in Sweden on December 3, 20245.0 out of 5 stars Working null-modem for connecting computer to CNC
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseMost "null modem" cables do not work for connecting e.g. a computer to a CNC-machine.
This one works great! Tested with a laptop using a USB to RS232 adapter connecting to a Takamaz X-10 CNC lathe. File transfers working as expected.
Product as described. Long 3 meter cable is a plus in my book.
