Cradlepoint 170767-000 COR Extensibility Cable, DB9 RS-232 Serial, 305 mm

Cradlepoint's compact routers hide a capable serial subsystem behind their extensibility port, and the 170767-000 COR Extensibility Cable is how you reach it. The cable runs from the SATA-style extensibility connector on an IBR900, IBR600C or IBR600B series router to a female 9-pin DB-9 RS-232 connector, granting these compact platforms the same serial connection functionality as the larger IBR1700 and IBR1100 series. Cradlepoint documents three capabilities this cable unlocks. First, OBD-II support: an IBR900 paired with the OBD-II cable can read vehicle diagnostics for fleet telematics. Second, GPS data via serial: IBR900 and IBR600C series routers can stream GPS sentences out the DB-9 to mapping displays, AVL systems and logging equipment. Third, serial redirect on all supported models — passing serial device data over the LTE connection, the classic pattern for reporting from legacy serial equipment at remote sites. At 305 mm (about 1 ft), the cable is deliberately short: an interface pigtail that presents the DB-9 where a device cable or extension connects, without adding slack inside tight vehicle consoles and cabinets. The black jacket matches the router aesthetic. For fleet integrators, this part plus an IBR900 turns a vehicle router into a telematics hub; for industrial sites, it links serial instrumentation into an LTE-reported cabinet.
