The manufacturer of the stacked DE-9 connector may or may not pre-install jackscrews at the factory. If the manufacturer pre-installed the jackscrwws, they will have to be removed. You'll notice the finish on the jackscrews, if already installed, differs from the finish of the supplied jackscrews. By supplying six jackscrews, we ensure they all match, and that we have additional flexibility in the supplier of the stacked DE-9 component.
