ACT 1,8 m seriële 1:1-verbindingskabel 9-polige D-Sub-stekker - 9-polige D-Sub-stekker

The ACT Serial Connection Cable 1.8m with 9-pin D-sub male connectors on both ends is a straight 1:1 serial cable designed to connect RS-232 compatible devices. At 1.8 metres long and finished in an ivory/beige jacket, the cable provides a flexible connection option for desktop and equipment setups where a direct serial link is required. The cable maintains standard pin-to-pin wiring and is intended for straightforward serial data and control signal transmission between devices such as computers, printers and instrumentation with 9-pin D-sub ports.

Advantages

This ACT 1.8m serial cable offers a simple, standard-compliant connection with consistent pin assignments on both ends. The fixed 1:1 wiring preserves signal integrity for RS-232 communication at distances suitable for desk and rack use. The neutral ivory/beige colour allows the cable to blend into office and equipment-room environments. The moulded 9-pin D-sub male connectors provide a secure physical interface and straightforward installation without the need for additional adapters.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to serial printers and POS hardware
• Linking measurement and laboratory instruments with RS-232 ports
• Serial configuration of network equipment and industrial controllers
• Temporary or permanent serial connections in office and workshop environments

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1.8 metres
• Connector type: 9-pin D-sub (male) on both ends
• Wiring: straight 1:1 (pin-to-pin) wiring for RS-232 signalling
• Colour: ivory / beige jacket
• Suitable signalling standard: RS-232 serial communication

How to use

Ensure both devices have compatible 9-pin D-sub serial ports and are powered off before connecting. Insert each male connector into the corresponding female port on the devices and secure the thumbscrews to prevent accidental disconnection. Power on the devices and configure serial port parameters (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits, and flow control) in the device software to match on both ends for proper communication. If communication issues occur, recheck connector seating and serial settings on both devices.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short to moderate distance RS-232 connections in offices, labs and workshops. Avoid routing the cable alongside high-voltage power lines or heavy machinery to reduce the risk of interference. For long runs or environments with strong electromagnetic noise, consider using shielded or specialised serial extenders appropriate for your application.
