Michael, I'll disagree with you to a small degree. IF it is a DE 9 - then
the FACTORY should label it as such. It is not any harder to learn a part
as
DE 9 as it would be a DB 9. The "FACTORIES" are at fault for
misrepresentation. You can't expect the general public to know other than
what they're taught. Ignorance breeds ignorance.
I have never seen one marked DB9 form a reputable manufacturer. From
tiny no name outfits in Japan, Taiwan and China? Yes.
OTOH, the factory ships in very large quantities, then "Joe Schmo's
computer supply and car wash" rips them out of the original packaging to
sell them as "Them their DB-9 cereal connector thingies" because that's
what his old drinking buddy called them.

Most places I've ever dealt with - call them DB 9s and so on - so there
again - they breed ignorance.
I guess you could say a Spade is a spade - even by any other name!

Yes, there are idiots selling both of these under the wrong name, but
if you contact any manufacture or OEM distributor it will show that you
don't know what you're doing.
Do you make the same fuss when someone calls an 8 conductor modular plug
"RJ45"
Do you even know what a REAL RJ45 is? The connectors are actually
8P8C modular plugs and jacks. RJ45 is only one application for that
configuration, and there are a number of modified 8P8C connectors with
different keys to prevent them from being used in other jacks. When you
work in manufacturing or design, you HAVE to make sure that you're
buying the right parts for the job.
Here is a hint: RJ means "Registered Jack", which is a telephone
industry standard for telephone wiring, not computer networking.

I'm sure you have been mistakenly referred to as "Human", but it
doesn't make it so. "Network Engineers" & "Network Architects"? Now,
that's almost funny. It would be, but I've had to clean up too many
messes created by those boozos. A true RJ-45 was a telephone connector
that used the same 8P8C non-keyed modular plug. I can't help that you
hang around with morons and drugged out hippies.

[quote:3f3fdc9916]I can't believe the looks I get lately when I want an electronic part
from Radio Shack. A few weeks ago I wanted a prox switch. The counter on
my tread mill failed. The spinning magnet on the pulley swithes the prox
switch to step the counter and timer. I think they thought I was
building a bomb. The store clerk didn't know what the hell I was talking
about. Just the other day I walked in and ask to see the muffin fans and
two clerks jaws dropped to the floor. The didn't have a clue what I was
talking about; never heard that name before? I can't believe how stupid
these people are getting.
