DB15 Female to RJ45 Female Modular Adapter Customizable Serial Extension Bridge
Our DB15F to RJ45F Modular Adapters offer a versatile solution for running serial data or specialized video signals over standard Ethernet cabling. By utilizing common Cat5e or Cat6 patch cables, you can easily extend your connections far beyond the reach of traditional DB15 cables while maintaining a high-quality signal.
Key Performance Features
-
Fully Adjustable Pinout: The adapter features a "loose-lead" internal wiring system with color-coded leads (Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, Brown, Black, White, Blue) that can be inserted into the DB15 connector in any custom sequence.
-
High-Density DB15 Female Port: Equipped with a standard 15-pin female D-Sub connector, typically used for legacy VGA, joystick ports, or specialized industrial control interfaces.
-
Efficient RJ45 Interface: The integrated 8P8C female jack allows for seamless integration with existing network infrastructure and inexpensive Ethernet cabling.
-
Secure Installation: Features robust manual thumb screws that ensure a tight, stable connection to your hardware without the need for additional tools.
-
Durable Modular Design: Encased in a sturdy, industrial-beige PVC housing designed to protect internal connections in professional and commercial environments.

Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns �
� How do I configure the wiring? This is a modular kit, meaning the pins are not pre-set. You must refer to your device's technical manual and push the color-coded pins into the DB15 holes that match your required pinout. Note that once the pins click into place, they are difficult to remove!
� Is this compatible with internet data? No. While it uses an RJ45 port, this is a passive analog adapter. It will not convert a serial signal into a digital network signal (TCP/IP). It simply uses the copper wires inside a network cable as a bridge for serial data.
Can I use this for a VGA monitor? While DB15 is the physical size used by VGA, this adapter is generally intended for serial data. Standard VGA signals often require more than the 8 wires provided by an RJ45 port for full high-resolution support.
