I have a large number of surplus DE9F to 8P8C (RJ45) adapters available if
someone can use some. I counted at least 350, but I'm not sure of the
exact number. When I bought them many years ago, I was expecting to get
adapters that had all 8 wires present (based on the photo the seller
provided) but what he sent me were pre-wired and three of the wires are
clipped away down inside the adapter body. (It might be possible to extend
those three wires, but I didn't want to spend the time on it.) The
adapters are labeled with a "PC" sticker, so I have to assume they were
originally used to connect to a PC serial port of some sort. (Mixed in
with these were a handful of DE9M to 8P8C adapters labeled "UPS" that have
5 wires similarly clipped away).
These are located on the US side of the pond, and whoever might want some
will have to cover the postage. I don't think these adapters are really
worth very much, although I certainly won't complain if someone wants to
pay something for some of them and help offset my original purchase cost.
I didn't pay /too/ much for them, although I doubt I'd have bought them at
all had the seller been up front about what he had.
If these adapters sound useful at all I can see about taking some photos
and a work up the pinout. I just really can't see me ever using ~350 of
these things :)
