Extension Cable Renkforce 1371918 D-Sub 9pin Male to D-Sub 9pin Female, 2 m

The Renkforce Extension Cable 1371918 D-Sub 9pin Male to D-Sub 9pin Female, 2 m is a 2-metre extension lead designed to extend RS-232/serial and other 9-pin D-Sub connections between devices. The cable provides a straightforward wired extension for serial peripherals, industrial controllers and legacy equipment that use the standard 9-pin D-Sub interface, allowing devices to be positioned more flexibly and cables to be routed more conveniently.

Advantages

This extension cable maintains the standard pinout of 9-pin D-Sub connectors to ensure compatibility with existing serial devices. The fixed 2 m length offers a balance between reach and manageable cable routing. The combination of a male connector on one end and a female connector on the other makes it suitable for extending an existing cable run without altering device connectors. The cable’s design supports common RS-232 signal wiring used in peripherals and industrial equipment.

Suitable for

• Extending RS-232/serial connections between computers, terminals and peripherals
• Connecting industrial controllers, PLCs and measurement devices that use 9-pin D-Sub
• Linking legacy hardware such as modems, serial printers and barcode scanners
• Temporary or permanent cable rerouting in control cabinets and workstations

Key specifications

• Connector A: D-Sub 9-pin male
• Connector B: D-Sub 9-pin female
• Cable length: 2 m
• Interface type: 9-pin D-Sub (suitable for RS-232/serial signals)
• Cable usage: extension lead for serial/RS-232 connections

How to use

Connect the male end of the extension cable to the female connector of an existing cable or device port, then connect the device or cable with the female end to the male connector of the target device. Ensure connectors are fully seated and, where present, secure screws are tightened to prevent accidental disconnection. Check device settings for correct serial parameters (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits) after adding the extension to confirm reliable communication.

Recommendations

For reliable serial communication, keep total cable length within the limits recommended by your device or RS-232 specifications and avoid routing the cable alongside high-voltage power lines or noisy signal sources. Use shielded cable runs and proper grounding where required in industrial installations to reduce interference.
