Serial Cable VALUE 11.99.6210 Black 1 m DB-9

The VALUE 11.99.6210 Black 1 m DB-9 is a 1‑metre serial cable with DB‑9 connectors designed for reliable RS‑232 style data connections between computers, industrial equipment and legacy peripherals. Its compact, black jacket and standard male/female DB‑9 interface make it suitable for point‑to‑point serial communication where a short, dependable cable is required.

Advantages

This serial cable provides stable data transfer through a standard DB‑9 connector configuration and is built to withstand routine insertion and removal. The 1 m length reduces signal loss and clutter for close‑range connections while the black outer jacket offers a discreet appearance and basic protection against mechanical wear. Compatibility with common serial interfaces simplifies integration with existing hardware without additional adapters.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs or laptops to serial peripherals such as modems, routers, or serial printers
• Linking industrial controllers, PLCs, and measurement instruments with RS‑232 ports
• Establishing console or configuration access to network equipment with DB‑9 serial ports
• Temporary or permanent desk‑level serial connections in offices, workshops, and laboratories

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 meter
• Connector type: DB‑9 (serial) connectors
• Color: Black outer jacket
• Function: Point‑to‑point serial data transmission (RS‑232 style)
• Construction: Standard shielded cable suitable for short‑range serial links

How to use

Connect the DB‑9 connectors to the corresponding serial ports on the two devices, ensuring proper gender alignment (male to female). Secure the connector screws if present to prevent accidental disconnection. After physical connection, configure serial port settings on both devices (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits and flow control) to matching values so communication can commence. For systems that no longer include native serial ports, use only verified adapter solutions that preserve signal integrity.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, keep the cable run as short as practical and avoid routing it alongside high‑power electrical lines to reduce interference. Inspect connectors for bent pins before use and replace the cable if the jacket or shielding shows visible damage. Use appropriate adapters only when required and verify serial settings in software or device manuals to ensure compatible communication.
