Product Reviews
Works Well with my Adapter
This works great in tandem with my usb to serial adapter. I use this to configure switches and routers and other telco modules. No problem reaching those high cabinets with this cable extender. Great addition if you are doing the same thing that I do. Highly recommended.
Great product.
Exactly what I needed. I would prefer the tightening screws to be made from more solid material. If you use screw driver to tighten the connector, the plastic will bend and get noches. But the cable and the plugs work great. I used it to extend temperature monitor serial IO to the enclosure rear end.
At last! a way to make something longer for 10 bucks that isnt a deception!
When I bought a surround sound setup for my bedroom and wanted to actually place the sub woofer where it belongs and the satellite speakers where they go, I was faced with the problem that faces many men in the bedroom in this day and age. Sometimes it just isn’t going to be long enough to put it where you really want to.Sure i could have returned the box but I thought i would try a workaround. I noticed that the connector port on the back of my woofer was nothing more than a standard 9 pin serial connector. I looked on the Logitech site (yes the speaker setup is logitech but this isn’t an ad for them) to see if they sold an extender cable, which they did not. They also firmly state that they no of no such cable and do not support anything to extend it.Willing to take a chance as many sad desperate men are, I decided i would sacrifice my ten bucks on the off chance that it might make my cable long enough to get it into the box.miracles of miracles it did the job. I have now been using this cord every day since, it having been far more faithful to the box it is connected to than I have ever been to boxes I connect up to.there’s a bit of extra length left over even should i ever move into a larger apartment or move this into my living room so everyone can enjoy it. I haven’t had any sound shortages of any kind or interference.I would say that the only downside is that its an off white colour. I know a lot of people want black because they think it looks sleeker with the rest of their electronics but honestly it along with all of the rest of my speaker cables is well hidden and out of sight so it really doesn’t matter. in fact, should I ever choose to relocate it into the living room, the off white will be easier to hide along the floorboards as it more closely matches the walls.I have read comments on other sites about how this cable was crap because it didn’t work with the persons monitor so let be stop you there and advise you that this is NOT a monitor cable extension. though they may both have a similar shape, they are by no means cross-compatible. For that you will want a monitor cable extender instead.On the customer support side of this (for some reason too many product reviews ONLY focus on this part and ignore the actual reviewing of the product in the product reviews… go figure)Shipping was extremely affordable and prompt. It was packed in a bubble padded envelope and arrived in just days after I ordered it.The product itself has been so fully functioning and error-free that I have no way to honestly speak of the over the phone support or return policy.
Many uses, not just ancient tech
Used this to extend my front right speaker on my Logitech 5.1 surround setup for my media center. It has volume and power on the speaker itself so they gave it a serial connector. Not sure why. Works like a charm though.

I did not use the product for its intended purpose. Instead, I built a DB9 audio cable for my home theatre to avoid running multiple wires for rear speakers and subwoofers.
Perfect to extend Logitech speakers like Z506
I bought this to extend the cable from the “control” speaker in my Logitech 5.1 surround sound set. While I don’t have the Z506 system, but the one with only one speaker in the center channel, I am sure the connector is the same. The “control” speaker has a 9-pin proprietary cable which is only 6’ long or so. This cable works perfectly to allow me to move the “control” speaker to a far corner of my room and everything works fine.
Great cable
High quality, perfect fit cable, It eliminated the 4 adapters i was using.

This cable save me a lot of trouble.
Serial Cable
Good quality cable. Used as a serial cable for an Adtran Switch.
Probably fine
I’m sure it must be good, but I haven’t used it. I bought it by mistake, when it turned out I needed and RS232 board, not a DB9 to RS232 cable.
