DB25 Male to Bare Wire with Cable Marker 3.3ft,D-SUB 25-Pin Connector RS232 Serial Cable,25 Wire All Provided with Wiring Terminals -Black

I recently acquired a Dell MMS 5650 subwoofer+amplifier from a thrift shop. Most of the connections for the speakers are your standard RCA inputs, but the center speaker uses a DB9 connector, presumably because the center speaker also has a volume control knob and power switch built in. I managed to figure out the pinouts for all those features, but I didn't have a DB9 cable on hand to sacrifice for the purpose of building a new controller. This cable fit my purpose great, and the color-coded wiring inside saved me from having to laboriously test and label each pin with its associated wire. I liked that there was a little plastic cap at the end of the cable where the wires protrude; it keeps them neatly bundled together. The cable is shielded and generally feels sturdy. My only complaint is that the screws on either side of the connector aren't very long, and the plastic for turning the screws isn't particularly durable, although at this price point I can hardly complain. All in all, great item for when you really need a cheap DB9 cable.

My only complaint is I wish it had a diagram to list out what pins went to what wire. I had to tone them out while I was building the cable, slowed things down a bit.

The pins were labeled correctly. I'm using cable to verify correct configuration before the process of making a custom cable.

I used this adapter to reprogram/replace a high profile facu, and this cable worked like a champ. Well made, and worth the money.

Was a little on the low quality side but it works
