The Comtrol 4000033 is a DB78M to DB9M octacable assembly that expands a single DB78 male connector into eight individual DB9 male connectors. This cable fanout assembly enables connection of up to eight RS-232 serial devices to a Comtrol RocketPort PCI multiport serial adapter card. The 3.5 feet cable length provides flexibility in device placement while maintaining signal integrity across all eight channels.
## Technical Specifications
• Source Connector: DB78 Male (1x)
• Device Connectors: DB9 Male (8x)
• Serial Ports: 8
• Protocol: RS-232
• Cable Length: 3.5 feet
• Assembly Type: Octacable
## Key Features
• Single-to-eight port expansion from one DB78 connector to eight DB9 connectors
• Designed for Comtrol RocketPort PCI Octacable Multiport Serial Adapters
• All eight connectors support simultaneous RS-232 serial communication
• Organized cable management through fan-out configuration
• Male connectors on both source and device ends
## Typical Applications
• Expansion of serial connectivity on systems using Comtrol RocketPort PCI adapter cards
• Connection of multiple legacy RS-232 serial devices (modems, terminals, test equipment, industrial instruments)
• Integration with systems requiring eight independent serial channels from a single adapter port
• Multiport serial solutions in automation, telecommunications, and data acquisition environments
## Compatibility & Integration
This cable assembly interfaces with Comtrol RocketPort PCI multiport serial adapter cards equipped with a DB78 female connector. All eight DB9 ports accept standard RS-232 male connectors from peripheral equipment. Operating system compatibility depends on the installed RocketPort adapter card drivers; refer to the adapter card documentation for specific OS support.
