Serial cable Honeywell 53-53000-3, RD-232 to DB9 connector, 2.9 m, black

Honeywell 53-53000-3 is a 2.9 m black serial cable with an RD-232 interface and a DB9 connector. It provides a wired RS-232 communication link for devices that require standard serial signaling. The cable is designed for straightforward data transfer, device configuration and maintenance tasks where a reliable, direct serial connection is needed.

Advantages

The cable offers a standard DB9 termination compatible with many legacy and industrial devices, ensuring broad interoperability with scanners, terminals and serial peripherals. At 2.9 m length, it balances reach and cable management for typical desktop and near-equipment connections. The black jacket provides a discreet, professional appearance and basic protection against abrasion in normal operating environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting barcode scanners to host terminals or POS systems
• Linking industrial controllers, instruments or measurement devices with RS-232 ports
• Configuring or updating firmware on legacy computers and embedded systems
• Establishing a direct serial console connection for troubleshooting and diagnostics

Key specifications

• Interface: RD-232 (RS-232 signaling)
• Connector: DB9 (9-pin) on one end
• Length: 2.9 meters
• Color: black
• Application: serial data transfer and device configuration

How to use

Connect the DB9 connector to the RS-232 serial port of the target device and attach the RD-232 end to the corresponding port on the host or peripheral. Ensure both devices are powered and set to compatible communication parameters (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits, and flow control) before initiating data transfer. Secure cable routing to avoid strain on connectors and reduce the risk of signal interruption.

Recommendations

For reliable communication, verify signal ground continuity and confirm pinout compatibility between connected devices. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage lines or heavy electrical equipment to minimize electromagnetic interference. Where extended reach or environmental protection is required, consider using shielded or industrial-grade alternatives.
