StarTech.com DB9 Serial Panel-Mount Header Cable

Turn a motherboard 10-pin serial header into a panel-mountable DB9 RS232 port.
DB9 RS23210-Pin IDC HeaderPanel Mount16 in (40 cm)

The StarTech.com PNL9M16, part number PNL9M16, is a 16-inch (40 cm) panel-mount cable that converts a motherboard 10-pin IDC serial header into a panel-mountable DB9 (RS232) serial connector. It lets you fasten a 9-pin serial port to an existing face plate, wall plate or chassis opening, making it easy to expose a built-in COM port and add legacy serial hardware to newer systems. The cable conforms to the common Apex/Everex/Intel header pinout. Backed by a lifetime warranty. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.

Compatibility — check your header pinout
The 10-pin IDC connector follows the Apex/Everex/Intel serial-header pinout. Confirm your motherboard’s COM header uses this layout (refer to your motherboard manual and the StarTech wiring diagram) before installing, as some boards use a different pinout. The other end is a standard DB9 male RS232 connector for panel or bracket mounting.

Key Features

 
Expose a Built-in COM Port
Routes a motherboard 10-pin serial header to an external DB9 RS232 connector, so an onboard COM port can be used externally.
 
Panel / Wall-Plate Mount
The DB9 connector fastens to a face plate, wall plate or chassis opening for a clean, secure serial port in industrial and POS setups.
 
Add Legacy Serial Hardware
Brings RS232 connectivity to newer systems for serial devices like POS gear, networking consoles, lab equipment and industrial controllers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the PNL9M16 do?
It converts a motherboard 10-pin IDC serial header into an external, panel-mountable DB9 (RS232) connector, so you can expose a built-in COM port on a face plate, wall plate or chassis and connect legacy serial devices.
Will it match my motherboard COM header?
It follows the Apex/Everex/Intel serial-header pinout, which many motherboards use. Always check your motherboard manual and the StarTech wiring diagram, as some boards use a different 10-pin layout.
What should I know before buying the PNL9M16?
It is a panel-mount adapter cable, not a USB-to-serial adapter — it connects to an existing onboard serial header. If your system has no serial header, use a USB-to-serial adapter such as the StarTech ICUSB232FTN instead.
Singular Expert Insight
Plenty of motherboards have an onboard COM header but no rear DB9 port — this cable simply brings it out to a bracket or panel, which is exactly what POS, industrial and networking builds need. The key check is the header pinout (Apex/Everex/Intel). If your machine has no serial header at all, a USB-to-serial adapter like the ICUSB232FTN is the right alternative.

Buyer's Guide

Buy it if
Your motherboard has a 10-pin serial header (Apex/Everex/Intel pinout) and you want to expose a DB9 COM port on a panel or bracket.
Skip it if
Your system has no onboard serial header, or your header uses a different pinout — use a USB-to-serial adapter instead.
Also consider
The StarTech ICUSB232FTN USB-to-serial adapter when there is no onboard header to tap.
