RS232 Cable ROLINE 11.01.6260 6m DB9 M-F Grey

The ROLINE RS232 cable (DB9 M-F) is a 6 m grey serial cable with two 9‑pin D‑Sub connectors for point‑to‑point RS232 connections. It provides a one‑to‑one wiring of all signal lines and a shield connection that is tied to the foil screen and both connectors to maintain signal integrity over the full length.

Advantages

This RS232 cable offers straightforward 1:1 pin mapping between male and female DB9 connectors, a continuous shield connection for improved noise protection, and a flexible 6 m length suitable for desktop and rack‑mounted equipment. The grey jacket identifies it as a standard serial cable and supports reliable serial data transmission between compatible devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs or industrial controllers with an RS232 (DB9) serial port
• Linking serial devices to switchboxes or console servers
• Extending existing RS232 cabling within the allowable distance
• Connecting serial instrumentation and legacy hardware

Key specifications

• Connector A: DB9 male (9‑pole D‑Sub)
• Connector B: DB9 female (9‑pole D‑Sub)
• Length: 6 m
• Wiring: 1:1 pin assignment (all lines connected straight through)
• Shield: Foil screen with shield line connected to both connectors
• Color: Grey

How to use

Plug the DB9 male connector into the serial (RS232) port of the host device and the DB9 female connector into the peripheral, switchbox, or console port. Ensure both devices are powered down when connecting or disconnecting if required by the equipment manufacturer. Verify serial port settings (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits) in the device software to match the communicating equipment.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid running the cable parallel to high‑voltage power lines or strong RF sources. Use appropriate strain relief at connector ends and keep connections dry and free of corrosion. Check pinouts when connecting to devices that require null‑modem wiring; this cable provides straight‑through wiring and is not a null‑modem cable.
