Unlock essential legacy connectivity for your modern computer system with the StarTech.com DB9 Serial Port Bracket Header. This adapter is the perfect, cost-effective solution for IT professionals and system builders who need to add a reliable RS232 serial port to a small form factor (SFF) or low-profile desktop computer that lacks an external DB9 connection. By utilizing an available IDC10 (10-pin) header on the motherboard, this bracket provides a seamless way to interface with older peripheral devices without the need for a more expensive PCIe serial card.

The PLATE9M16LP (16 inch/ 0.4 m) Low Profile Serial Plate adds a DB9 serial port to the rear panel of a small form factor/low profile computer, connecting to an IDC10 header connector on the motherboard.
