Serial printer cable 9 pin D-sub female - 9 pin D-sub female 5 m ACT AK7324

The ACT Serial Printer Cable AK7324 is a 5‑metre beige cable with 9‑pin D‑sub female connectors on both ends, designed for serial connections between devices such as printers and other RS‑232 compatible equipment. The cable is cross‑connected and intended for direct device-to-device serial communication where a null modem configuration is required.

Advantages

The cable provides a ready-made cross‑connected (null modem) wiring configuration, eliminating the need for separate adapters or rewiring. With its 5 m length it supports connections across typical home and office setups while maintaining standard 9‑pin D‑sub female compatibility for common serial ports. The beige jacket offers neutral aesthetics and the cable is suitable for routine data transmission and basic serial peripheral connections.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting a serial printer to a computer or terminal using a null modem configuration
• Direct RS‑232 communication between two computers or devices that require cross‑connected signals
• Replacing or extending existing 9‑pin D‑sub female serial cables up to 5 metres

Key specifications

• Brand: ACT
• Model / MPN: AK7324
• EAN: 8716065115109
• Connector A: 9‑pin D‑sub female
• Connector B: 9‑pin D‑sub female
• Length: 5 m
• Color: Beige
• Cable type: Cross‑connected (null modem) serial cable

How to use

Verify that both devices support RS‑232 serial communication and have 9‑pin D‑sub female ports. Connect each end of the cable to the corresponding 9‑pin female port on the devices. Configure serial port settings (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits, and flow control) in each device or host software to match. Because the cable is cross‑connected (null modem), no additional null modem adapter is required when connecting two D‑sub female serial ports that expect a crossed wiring arrangement.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, keep cable runs as short as practical within the 5 m length, avoid running the cable parallel to high‑voltage power lines to reduce interference, and confirm serial port settings on both devices before data transfer.
