ACT 5 metre Serial 1:1 connection cable 25 pin D-sub male - 25 pin D-sub female

The ACT 5 metre Serial 1:1 connection cable has a 25 pin D-sub male connector on one end and a 25 pin D-sub female connector on the other, providing a straightforward serial link between compatible devices. The 5 m length allows flexible placement of connected equipment while maintaining a direct, one-to-one wiring configuration. The cable comes in an ivory (white) colour and is intended for serial communication where a standard 25-pin D-sub connection is required.

Advantages

This cable offers a full 25-pin 1:1 wiring scheme for direct device-to-device serial connections, a 5 metre length that balances reach and signal reliability, and standardized Sub-D connectors (25-pin male to female) for compatibility with equipment using D-sub interfaces. The ivory colour provides a neutral appearance for office or lab setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting serial devices with 25-pin D-sub ports
• Point-to-point data transfer between computers, industrial controllers, and legacy equipment
• Setups requiring a 5 metre cable run without signal conversion

How to use

Identify the 25-pin D-sub male and female ports on the devices to be connected. Align the male connector with the female port and gently insert, then secure the connectors using the thumbscrews if provided. Ensure both devices are powered off when connecting or disconnecting to avoid data errors or electrical issues. After connection, power on the devices and configure serial communication parameters (baud rate, parity, stop bits) as required by the connected equipment.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid sharp bends and heavy tension on the cable, keep it away from high-voltage power lines and strong electromagnetic sources, and inspect connectors periodically for bent pins or loose screws.
