ACT 15 metre Serial 1:1 connection cable 25 pin D-sub male - 25 pin D-sub female

The ACT 15 metre Serial connection cable features a 25 pin D-sub male connector on one end and a 25 pin D-sub female connector on the other. Designed for serial data transfer over a 15 m distance, this ivory-coloured cable provides a straightforward wired connection between devices that use the 25-pin D-sub interface. The cable is intended for point-to-point serial communication where an extended reach is required and where a standard D-sub 25-pin wiring configuration is compatible.

Advantages

The cable offers a 15 metre length that reduces the need for intermediate repeaters or converters in short- to medium-range serial setups. Having a male connector at one end and a female connector at the other simplifies direct connections between devices with complementary D-sub25 ports. The neutral ivory colour and durable jacket provide a neat appearance and protection against normal handling in office, industrial or laboratory environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting legacy serial equipment such as industrial controllers, measurement instruments and older PC serial ports
• Serial communication links in control cabinets, test benches and laboratory setups
• Point-to-point RS-232 wiring where a 25-pin D-sub connector is specified

Key specifications

• Cable length: 15 metres
• Connector A: 25 pin D-sub male
• Connector B: 25 pin D-sub female
• Colour: ivory
• Use: serial data connection (D-sub 25-pin wiring)

How to use

Locate the two devices to be connected and confirm each has a compatible 25-pin D-sub serial port. Align the male and female connectors and secure the connector screws or thumb-nuts if present to ensure a stable mechanical and electrical connection. Route the 15 m cable to avoid tight bends, sharp edges and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. After connection, power the devices and configure serial communication parameters (baud rate, parity, stop bits, flow control) on both ends as required by your equipment.

Recommendations

For reliable serial communication, keep the cable away from mains power cables and high-frequency equipment. If the distance or environment introduces data errors, consider using shielded routing, ferrite cores, or active serial extenders matched to your protocol and device requirements.
