    For me it’s displays and audio systems, but I do use RS232 on a daily basis.

    Yesterday I had to manually make a null modem cable cause I lost my final little orange dongle.

      I carry a bunch of loose connectors in my Pelicase O’Spares - I mostly work with RS422, so I can solder any length I need to achieve less rack spaghetti.

      My pelicase has a redicilous assortment of various things I might need, accumulated over a long period of time. Netqork cards, SFP transceivers, and a bunch of other stuff. There’s also a Cisco router and three beers. The last two items are normally not there, but they were leftovers after wrapping up my work trip yesterday, so I took them with me.
