The Sun DB-9Adapter

Some devices, such as a PC or handheld computer, require you to use either a male or female DB-9 adapter. The Sun DB-9 adaptor (part number 530-3100-xx)is a 9-Pin DSUB female to 8-POS RJ-45 female adapter. To connect to any device that has a 9- pin serial connector, use a DB-9 (9-pin) adapter that performs the pin crossovers listed in TABLE 3-5.
