Pinning adapters wrong is why i take a bag of 20 and pin 15 of them straight and 5 null and mark an S or N on the outside of them. But this really doesn't have anything to do with solder over rj45-db9 adapters. The same tech who pinned the adapter wrong is equally capable of soldering incorrectly. And.. its much faster to correct an RJ45-db9 mistake than it is to correct a soldered connector.
I just had a "DUH!!!" moment. I'm doing this tomorrow. I don't make mistakes anymore when pinning out either way while hooking up a device, but it makes way more sense to do ALL of them at once so you're not ending up with a "spare" that was pinned out differently laying in the bottom of your tool bag.
