StarTech PLATE9M2P16 Dual DB9 Serial Slot Plate | IDC, Motherboard

Bring serial connectivity to the rear panel with a dual-port bracket built for systems that still depend on COM devices. The PLATE9M2P16 connects to two 10-pin IDC motherboard headers and exposes two DB9 male serial ports externally, giving you a clean, serviceable way to attach consoles, industrial controllers, barcode scanners, and other serial peripherals. This is the kind of accessory that earns its place in a production environment. Instead of leaving header connections buried inside the chassis, it moves them to an accessible location where technicians can connect and disconnect equipment quickly. The result is better cable management, easier maintenance, and fewer compromises when a deployment still requires serial I/O. Constructed from quality components and backed by a lifetime warranty, it is a practical choice for infrastructure teams that need reliable legacy connectivity without adding active conversion hardware. For environments where serial ports remain part of the operating standard, this bracket keeps the interface simple and dependable.
