Opengear 319015 – DB9 Female to RJ45 Crossover Serial Adapter Cable (6 in.)

Overview :

The Opengear 319015 (also referenced as 319015-01) is a specialized 6-inch crossover serial adapter designed to facilitate seamless out-of-band management and console connectivity. It bridges standard Opengear console server RJ45 serial ports (configured with “Cisco Straight / X2” pinouts) directly to 9-pin DB9 male DTE serial ports commonly found on legacy server consoles, PCs, laptops, network appliances, and modems.

By converting the RJ45 pinout to a DB9 female interface using standard UTP network patch cables, the 319015 eliminates the need for complex custom serial wiring or bulky external adapters. Its compact, flexible design reduces strain on equipment ports, ensuring clean cable management within high-density server racks and IT enclosures.

Key Features :

• Cisco Straight to DB9 Crossover: Easily adapts Opengear RJ45 serial ports (Cisco straight pinout) to standard DB9 male DTE equipment ports.

• Flexible 6-Inch Cable: Short, flexible pigtail design relieves strain on server and console port connectors.

• High-Density Rack Management: Simplifies serial console cabling across racks using standard Cat5e/Cat6 UTP patch cables.

• Durable Construction: Molded connectors with thumbscrews ensure secure locking and long-term signal stability.

• Plug-and-Play Compatibility: Directly supported by Opengear ACM, CM, IM, and OM series resilience gateways and console servers.
