Cable adaptador DeLOCK 66166

The DeLOCK 66166 Cable Gender Changer adapts a Sub-D connector to an RJ-45 interface, allowing a serial interface to be extended over an optional Cat.5 / 5e / 6 cable. The adapter has a robust black housing with stainless-steel elements and secures the wired connection in the connector housing.

Advantages

This gender changer enables flexible pin assignment when using a Cat.5 / 5e / 6 cable, allowing you to route individual signals by placing the cable conductor into the desired connector hole. The compact design and stainless-steel reinforced areas provide mechanical stability and reliable contact for serial-to-RJ45 wiring conversions.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Extending a serial interface over Cat.5 / 5e / 6 cabling
