DB9 Male to 8-Pin Mini-DIN Male Cable 6 Foot Black Serial Data Cable

This is an unbranded 6-foot black serial data cable with a DB9 male (DE-9) connector on one end and an 8-pin Mini-DIN male connector on the other. Cables of this type are used to connect RS-232 serial devices to equipment using a round 8-pin Mini-DIN interface, a configuration seen in a variety of industrial controllers, older computer peripherals, and specialty electronics from the 1990s and 2000s.

Applications

DB9 to 8-pin Mini-DIN serial cables connect RS-232 serial ports — found on computers, terminal equipment, and industrial controllers — to devices that use a round Mini-DIN serial interface. The 8-pin Mini-DIN connector was used by a range of equipment including some MIDI and ADB peripherals, proprietary serial instruments, industrial automation devices, and older Mac-compatible serial hardware. These cables remain useful for legacy system maintenance, interfacing vintage equipment, and certain industrial or scientific instrument setups that retain RS-232 serial communication.
