Adapting to RS-485
The DB9F-to-5 screw terminal block adapter is a simple solution for  connecting field wiring to DB9 connectors on USB serial adapters,  Ethernet serial servers, and other Sealevel RS-485 products with a DB9M  connector. The adapter works with two- and four-wire RS-485 networks and  can be easily secured to the serial port with thumbscrews to prevent  accidental disconnection.
