Microconnect IBM029-2 serial cable Grey 1.8 m DB25 DB9

The Microconnect IBM029-2 is a serial cable 1.8 m long with a male D‑SUB 25 (DB25) connector on one end and a female D‑SUB/RS‑232 9‑pin (DB9) connector on the other. Designed for reliable point‑to‑point serial data transmission, the cable is RoHS compliant, comes in grey and weighs approximately 110 g. Its compact package dimensions make it suitable for use in office or industrial setups where a standard DB25-to-DB9 serial connection is required.

Advantages

This serial cable provides a straightforward wired connection between devices with DB25 and DB9 serial ports. The 1.8 m length offers flexibility for desktop or rack installations while remaining easy to route and store due to its light weight and slim profile. RoHS compliance ensures the cable meets common environmental and safety regulations for electronic components.

Suitable for

• Connecting legacy printers, modems or industrial equipment with DB25 ports to devices with DB9 serial ports
• Serial communication between PCs, PLCs and measurement instruments
• Laboratory or workshop setups requiring reliable RS‑232 connections

How to use

Identify the DB25 male and DB9 female ends and connect them to the corresponding serial ports on your devices, ensuring secure seating of the D‑SUB screws where present. Use the 1.8 m length to position devices with reasonable separation while avoiding tight bends in the cable. Confirm serial port settings (baud rate, parity, stop bits) in each device or PC to match the intended communication parameters.

Recommendations

Avoid routing the cable near high‑voltage lines or strong electromagnetic sources to minimize interference. For long‑term installations, secure the cable with cable ties without over‑tightening to prevent insulation damage.
