ACT 10 metre Serial 1:1 connection cable 9 pin D-sub male - 9 pin D-sub male

The ACT 10 metre Serial 1:1 connection cable with 9 pin D-sub male to 9 pin D-sub male connectors provides a straightforward wired link for devices using RS-232 or compatible serial interfaces. At 10 metres length, the cable allows flexible placement of connected equipment while maintaining a direct one-to-one pin mapping to preserve signal integrity. The beige jacket offers a neutral appearance suitable for office, industrial and home environments.

Advantages

This serial cable uses standard 9 pin D-sub male connectors on both ends and a 1:1 wiring scheme to ensure compatibility with a wide range of serial ports and peripherals. The 10 m length reduces the need to reposition devices and supports applications where components are separated by a moderate distance. The cable is designed for stable data transmission and practical handling in mixed office or technical setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, terminals or routers with DB9 serial ports
• Linking industrial controllers, PLCs and diagnostic equipment
• Serial communication in point-of-sale and legacy hardware systems
• Field service and maintenance where extended cable length is required

Key specifications

• Connector type: 9 pin D-sub male to 9 pin D-sub male
• Wiring: 1:1 (straight-through) pin mapping
• Length: 10 metres
• Cable colour: beige
• Intended interface: RS-232 / serial-compatible devices

How to use

Ensure both devices to be connected power down or are in a safe state for connecting cables. Align each 9 pin D-sub male connector with the corresponding female serial port and fasten any coupling screws to secure the connection. After connection, power up the devices and configure serial port settings (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits, and flow control) on each device as required by the application. For long-term installations, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and areas with excessive mechanical stress.

Recommendations

For reliable communication, keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; if interference is suspected, consider shorter cable runs or additional shielding at the installation site.
