Re: [PLUG] USB to DB9 and a Null Modem

98% of the use is to plug my laptop (only has USBs) into a computer server's DB9 port while prancing around a computer room. Portable console.
The two cable solution seems the best.. but figured I'd still fish for others opinions. :)

Stick with the plain old usb-serial db9 adapter. You can get a lot of different uses out of it. 

I use it with cisco console cables, null modem cables, various vendor specific pin outs and cabling, etc, etc.

Packed away somewhere in my storage is a USB to DB9 converter. Somewhere. I'm going to consider it lost for all practical purposes. Time to get a new one.

6 inch USB to DB9M plugged into a 6 foot long DB9F-DB9F Null Modem Cable

Really old old _one_ = 
Three pieces, with a little Null Modem adapter for those days when DTE/DTC world was more prevalent. Not sure I have to worry about ripping out the null modem for plugging into other things anymore.

Saw this one cable solution, not sure if worth it. Anyone have this?:

I think two things like this are my best bet:
