Dan, StarTech.com Support **Q: Is the idc connector dtk/intel or at/everex pinout?** A: Jeffrey Greaves is correct, this uses the AT/Everex pinout currently used by 95%+ of motherboards. It is NOT the INCOMPATIBLE DTK/Intel pinout used by Supermicro motherboards and some other older devices. I wasted hours troubleshooting and researching a RS-232 problem with a Supermicro motherboard with this type of cable. ## Frequently Bought Together - StarTech.com 16in 9 Pin Serial Male to 10 Pin Motherboard Header Panel Mount Cable - motherboard to RS232 (PNL9M16),Gray - DTECH Serial Adapter 3-Pack (DB9 F-F, M-F, M-M), Mini Size RS232 Coupler, Female to Male 9 Pin Connector, for PC Computer Data Transfer - OIKWAN USB to RS232, USB Serial Adapter with FTDI Chipset,USB 2.0 to Male DB9 Serial Cable for Windows 11,10, 8, 7, Vista, XP, 2000, Linux and Mac OS(6ft)… --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/367577535-startech-com-16-inch-9-p-inch-serial-male-to](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/367577535-startech-com-16-inch-9-p-inch-serial-male-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-11*
