what is the distance between the pins on the rectangular connector (.05" or .1")?

The distance between the pin holes on the IDC header connection of the PNL9M16 is 2.54mm or about 0.1 inches. Dan, StarTech.com Support

Is the idc connector dtk/intel or at/everex pinout?

Jeffrey Greaves is correct, this uses the AT/Everex pinout currently used by 95%+ of motherboards. It is NOT the INCOMPATIBLE DTK/Intel pinout used by Supermicro motherboards and some other older devices. I wasted hours troubleshooting and researching a RS-232 problem with a Supermicro motherboard with this type of cable.
