ACT 1.8 metre Serial 1:1 connection cable 25 pin D-sub male - 25 pin D-sub male

The ACT 1.8 metre serial connection cable provides a direct 1:1 link between devices using 25‑pin D‑sub male connectors on both ends. Finished in ivory/beige and measuring 1.8 m in length, this cable is designed for straightforward serial connections where a standard DB25 male-to-male interface is required. It is suitable for use with equipment that accepts legacy parallel or serial DB25-style ports and carries data signals reliably over short to moderate distances.

Advantages

This 25‑pin D‑sub male-to-male cable offers a simple, ready-to-use solution for connecting compatible devices without the need for adapters. The 1:1 wiring preserves signal mapping between connectors, while the 1.8 m length provides flexibility in device placement. The ivory/beige jacket helps the cable blend with office or industrial environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting devices with DB25 male serial or parallel ports
• Point-to-point data transfer between equipment supporting DB25 pinouts
• Replacing or extending existing DB25 male-to-male connections

How to use

Identify the DB25 male ports on each device and align the connectors so the pins match the port openings. Insert each male connector into the corresponding female DB25 port and secure with the thumbscrews or fastening mechanism on the device if available. After connection, verify communication settings (baud rate, parity, stop bits) and test the link using the appropriate software or diagnostics for your equipment.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable; keep connections away from strong electromagnetic sources and route the cable to minimise interference. Confirm that both connected devices support direct male-to-male DB25 wiring and the required signal levels before use.
