Are you asking us to identify a connector? If so, please edit your post and, if you haven't already,... Tell us if a) all you want is to know what it's called, or b) you also want to know where to buy one just like it, or c) you also want to know where to buy its mate. If to buy, provide: pitch (center-to-center spacing between adjacent contacts) EXACT to within 1% --(tip: measure the distance between the first pin and the last pin in a row of N pins, then divide by N-1) Close-up, in focus pictures of connector from multiple angles: we want to see wire entry side, mating surface, keying and latching, PCB mounting, manufacturer's logo Similar pictures of mate, if available Thanks, AutoModerator PS: beware of the typical answer around here: "It's a JST". Connectors are often misidentified as 'JST', which is a connector manufacturer, not a specific type/product line. I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns. More on reddit.com

I have recently acquired an Allied Telesis gs950/24 switch. The only problem is that this is the older version (non-eco) and has a console port. The console port on the itself is a male db9 port. Does this mean I need a "usb to female db9" cable, because I can't actually find one. More on reddit.com

I would try Fry's. Probably your best bet.
