Kabel-gender-changer DeLOCK 66164

The DeLOCK 66164 cable gender changer adapts a Sub-D 9 pin connector to an RJ-45 interface, allowing a serial interface to be extended via a standard Cat.5 / 5e / 6 cable. The adapter features a black, grey and stainless steel design and is intended to provide a simple way to connect devices with different connector types while permitting individual pin assignment through the use of the network cable.

Advantages

This adapter allows flexible routing of serial signals over commonly available Cat.5 / 5e / 6 cables and supports individual pin assignment by placing the cable wires into the desired connector holes. The compact design and mixed-material finish ensure durable mechanical contact and straightforward installation without additional tools.

Suitable for

• Extending RS-232 or other serial connections over Cat.5/5e/6 cable
• Connecting devices with Sub-D 9 pin to equipment using an RJ-45 terminated cable
• Field wiring where custom pinouts are required

How to use

Insert the individual conductors of a Cat.5 / 5e / 6 cable into the appropriate holes of the RJ-45 end of the adapter according to the desired pinout, then push the cable end into the housing until it locks. Connect the Sub-D 9 pin side to the corresponding serial connector on your device. Verify signal assignment and secure connections before powering connected equipment.

Recommendations

Use twisted-pair cable of the specified categories and check the pin assignment with a multimeter or continuity tester before final installation to avoid miswiring. Do not exceed the intended use for low-speed serial signals and ensure connectors are seated firmly to maintain contact integrity.
