Serial communication is the process of sending data one bit at a time, sequentially, over a communication channel or computer bus.
Note: Serial connections are not available in the Starter (free) plan.
Establish a serial connection
On iOS / iPadOS, you can establish a serial connection using Redpark's Lightning Console Cable (L2RJ45V3) or Redpark's USB-C Serial Cable (C4-RJ45V). These cables connect devices with a Lightning or USB-C port to the console port on network equipment. They are compatible with any brand of networking equipment that uses the RJ45 type serial port.
On Android, to establish a serial connection, you'll need an OTG converter, a USB cable with appropriate connectors, and your device must be OTG-compatible. (Most Android devices these days are OTG-compatible.)

Hi,
If support for Redpark’s C4-DB9V cable would be added to Termius for IOS, that would be tremendously helpful in connecting to older devices that may still use a DB9 serial port using an Apple IOS device. I have tested that this works absolutely fine on MacOS.
