Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 m
• Connector type: DB‑25 male/female (serial interface)
• Cable color: grey
• Application: serial (RS‑232/DB‑25 compatible) point‑to‑point data connections
• Design: round jacket suitable for office and industrial routing

How to use

Connect the DB‑25 connector to the matching DB‑25 port on your device, ensuring secure seating of the connector screws if present. Route the 3‑metre cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Power and configure connected devices according to their manufacturer instructions to enable serial communication. For systems requiring specific signal wiring or gender conversion, verify pinouts and use appropriate adapters or null‑modem configurations.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the cable away from high‑voltage lines and large motors. If you experience communication errors, inspect connector seating and pin alignment, and check whether a null‑modem or gender adapter is required for your device pair. Replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show visible wear or corrosion.
