4. Functionality
The CBL‑F10M9‑20 functions as an interface adapter cable that bridges the internal serial header of an Artila MSM‑4S mini PCI card to an external RS‑232 device. The 10‑pin IDC connector attaches directly to the MSM‑4S board’s serial port header, while the DB9 male connector provides a standard RS‑232 interface for external equipment.

Typical Use Cases:
- Connecting embedded controllers or industrial PCs equipped with MSM‑4S modules to external serial devices.
- Providing a convenient external RS‑232 port for configuration, diagnostics, or data acquisition.
- Integrating serial communication into compact systems where space constraints require short, flexible cabling.
- Linking to modems, barcode scanners, PLCs, sensors, or legacy serial instruments.

Compatibility:
- Fully compatible with Artila MSM‑4S mini PCI serial expansion modules.
- Can be used with other devices featuring the same 10‑pin serial header pinout (2 × 5, 2.54 mm pitch).
- Supports standard RS‑232 communication protocols and signal levels.

Operation:
Once connected, the cable transmits and receives serial data between the MSM‑4S module and the external RS‑232 device. No external power is required; the cable simply carries signal lines such as TXD, RXD, RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR, and GND according to the MSM‑4S pin assignment.
