Pan Pacific S‑Y‑9F/MX2 DB9 Female to Dual DB9 Male Adapter Cable
The Pan Pacific S‑Y‑9F/MX2 adapter cable features a DB9 female connector that splits into two DB9 male connectors. Designed for simple peripheral sharing, it allows a single DB9 serial port to be shared between two separate DB9 male devices—though only one can be connected and used at a time. This Y‑style cable is frequently used for input device sharing such as mice or touchpads.

How It’s Used
This adapter cable is ideal when you need to alternate between two serial devices using a single DB9 port—commonly found in setups that involve:
-
Mouse or Touchpad Sharing: Particularly relevant in retro computing contexts or legacy hardware environments
-
Serial Device Switching: Useful when toggling between devices like modems or diagnostic tools without needing to constantly plug and unplug cables
Though handy, note that only one device may be active at a time—it does not support simultaneous use of both outputs.
