This unit offers quick, convenient, and secure access to any six DB9 ports (A,B,C,D,E, and F) from a Common Port.  This allows secure control of 6 different networks, devices, PC’s or other DB9 interfaced peripherals from one computer/controller. The Model 9438 Switch provides the capability of individual switching control between each port/device without having to unplug and plug in DB9 cables from the units. Since the switch box is manually controlled by turning a knob, it is a lower cost, more reliable and secure compared to other network switching alternatives.

All ports on the back panel of the box have DB9 female connectors and are labeled A, B, C, D, E, F, and COMMON.  The switch position will be indicated by the front panel rotary knob. The Model 9438 utilizes a high quality sealed switch with self-wiping precious metal contacts. All 9 pins of the DB9 interface are switched via break-before-make rotary. Ideal for use in sharing serial peripheral devices like keyboards, mice, joysticks, etc..
