ACT 1.8 metre Serial 1:1 connection cable 9 pin D-sub male - 9 pin D-sub female

The ACT Serial connection cable (1.8 metre) provides a reliable 9-pin D-sub male to 9-pin D-sub female 1:1 wiring for serial communication. Designed by Advanced Cable Technology (ACT), this 1.8 m white cable connects devices that use standard RS-232 style D-sub connectors and supports straightforward data transmission between computers, peripherals and legacy equipment.

Advantages

This ACT 1.8 metre serial cable offers a matched 9-pin D-sub male-to-female configuration for direct 1:1 connections, a length suited for desktop or rack installations, and a neutral white jacket that integrates into professional and office environments. The cable is built to deliver consistent signal integrity for common serial applications and to simplify device interconnection without requiring adapters or rewiring.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to serial peripherals (modems, mice, older printers)
• Interfacing networking or telecom equipment with D-sub serial ports
• Linking industrial control devices and legacy electronics

How to use

Verify the pinout requirements of both devices to ensure a straight-through 9-pin D-sub connection is appropriate. Align and insert the male D-sub connector into the device port, then secure any screws or fasteners if present. Connect the female end to the corresponding male port on the other device. Power devices off when connecting or disconnecting if recommended by the equipment manufacturer to prevent data errors.

Recommendations

For stable serial communication, keep cable runs away from high-voltage power lines and large electrical motors to minimise interference. Use the 1.8 m length for short to medium connections; for longer distances, consult device specifications or use appropriate signal extenders.
