It works. The only problem is poor isolation. In my case, I only notice the lack of isolation when I have the switch in one position ( A or B ) and the feed from the other ( B or A ). In other words, If the switch is set to A and the feed is on B, you will still get a signal on A. That is poor isolation. In my case it doesn't matter because I only have one radio turned on at any time. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly what we needed *by L***G on June 5, 2013* Nothing works better than the rotary style switch for this application. Do not get the type that have buttons to change ports, you will be disappointed. We use these in a heavy industrial environment to toggle between serial printers and they work great. I only wish the sold one that had Male A/B ports on it. Be sure to have the right cable when using these, a standard M/F serial is not going to cut it. ### ⭐ My component failed upon connection to this switch *by R***. on May 6, 2022* When I connected my component to this switch, it immediately failed.Not sure of the cause. ## Frequently Bought Together - CableWholesale AB 2 Way Switch Box, DB9 Female - Your Cable Store 3 Foot DB9 9 Pin Serial Port Cable Male/Male RS232 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4809418-ab-2-way-switch-box-db9-female](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4809418-ab-2-way-switch-box-db9-female) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
