About This Device
Serial is not dead — it drives vehicle peripherals, industrial controllers, signage and metering gear across every fleet and factory. The Cradlepoint 170676-000 bridges that world into modern edge routing: a 3 m (9.84 ft) data cable with a 9-pin DB-9 serial connector on the first end and Cradlepoint's GPIO-side interface on the other, specified for use with the IBR1700 and with products that use a USB port with an adapter.
In a typical build, the IBR1700 — Cradlepoint's performance in-vehicle router — sits at the center of a mobile network, and the 170676-000 gives its deployment a native path to DB-9 serial equipment without a rat's nest of third-party converters. The 3 m run reaches from a trunk or console-mounted router to dash-mounted or rack-mounted serial hardware, and a single Cradlepoint part number keeps the integration supportable: one cable, documented by the vendor, orderable by MPN.
For fleet upfitters, this is the difference between a clean, repeatable install diagram and per-vehicle improvisation. For industrial integrators, it connects controllers and legacy instrumentation into a cellular-routed cabinet with vendor-matched cabling.
