Serial Cable M-Cab 7200448 USB Type-A Grey 0.2 m

The M-Cab 7200448 USB Type-A serial cable is a compact 0.2 m connection cable in grey, designed to link USB Type-A hosts to devices that use a 15-pin D‑Sub female game/serial interface. Supplied as a single piece, this short cable is suitable for installations where space is limited and a direct, low-profile connection is required. The cable supports USB 2.0 signalling and is intended for reliable data transfer between compatible equipment.

Advantages

This 0.2 m USB Type-A to DA‑15 cable offers a small footprint and convenient length for close-proximity connections, minimising cable clutter. The grey jacket provides a neutral appearance that blends into professional and consumer environments. Built to provide stable connections, the cable is appropriate for temporary setups or semi-permanent installations where full-length cabling is unnecessary.

Suitable for

• Connecting a USB Type-A host to devices with a 15-pin D‑Sub (game/serial) female connector in tight spaces
• Short-distance data transfer where minimal cable length is preferred
• Use in rack-mounted or desktop equipment assemblies where a low-profile link is needed
• Temporary diagnostic, configuration, or control connections

When it may not be suitable

This short 0.2 m cable is not intended for situations that require longer reach between devices; it will not replace longer extension cables. It is designed for specific connector types—USB Type-A to DA‑15 female—so it is not suitable if your device uses different connector standards without an appropriate adapter.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.2 m
• Connector A: USB Type-A, male
• Connector B: 15-pin D‑Sub (DA‑15), female
• Colour: Grey
• USB version: USB 2.0 signalling compatible
• Quantity in pack: 1 piece

How to use

Connect the USB Type-A male end to the host device's USB port and align the 15-pin D‑Sub female connector with the corresponding male connector on the peripheral. Ensure connectors are properly oriented before inserting to avoid damage. For reliable operation, avoid excessive bending of the cable near the ends and route the cable so it is not under tension. If the connected device requires drivers, install them on the host system according to the device manufacturer's instructions.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that the peripheral uses a 15-pin D‑Sub female (DA‑15) interface compatible with this cable.
• Verify that a 0.2 m cable length is sufficient for your setup; consider longer cables or adapters if greater distance is needed.
• Check host device compatibility with USB 2.0 signalling and required drivers for the connected equipment.

Recommendations

For best results, use this short M-Cab 7200448 cable in tightly arranged workspaces or inside cabinets and racks where minimal slack is needed. Avoid placing heavy objects on the cable and keep it away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference to preserve signal integrity.
