ACT AK2309 10 metre Serial 1:1 connection cable with 9 pin D-sub male and 9 pin D-sub female connectors in ivory color

The ACT 10 metre Serial 1:1 connection cable is designed to provide reliable data transmission and seamless peripheral device connectivity in various office and industrial setups. Featuring a generous 10 metre length, this serial cable allows for flexible installation distances between devices without signal compromise. It is equipped with a 9 pin D-sub male connector on one end and a 9 pin D-sub female connector on the other, ensuring direct 1:1 pin connection compatibility. Finished in a neutral ivory color, the cable integrates discreetly into professional environments while maintaining high functional standards through robust molded hoods.

Advantages

This serial connection cable offers extended reach with its 10 metre length, making it ideal for connecting devices that are positioned far apart within a workspace. The inclusion of molded hoods ensures enhanced durability and strain relief at the connector junctions, protecting the internal wiring from daily wear and tear. The straightforward 1:1 pin configuration guarantees reliable and direct data communication between compatible serial peripherals. Its neutral ivory exterior helps maintain a clean and professional appearance in office or industrial settings.

Suitable for

• Connecting legacy serial devices such as industrial machinery, terminals, and older peripherals.
• Extending the reach between computers and serial equipment over a 10 metre distance.
• Office and industrial installations requiring a reliable 1:1 D-sub connection.

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be suitable for applications that require connections over distances significantly shorter than 10 metres, as excess cable length can create clutter. It is also not compatible with modern digital interfaces such as USB or HDMI without the use of dedicated active protocol converters.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 10 metres
• Connector 1: 9 pin D-sub male
• Connector 2: 9 pin D-sub female
• Wiring configuration: 1:1 connection
• Color: Ivory
• Molded hoods for strain relief

How to use

Before installation, ensure that all connected equipment is powered off to prevent accidental electrical surges or port damage. Identify the correct serial ports on your computer or peripheral device, matching the 9 pin D-sub male and female ends accordingly. Gently insert each connector into the respective port until fully seated, and secure them using the integrated thumbscrews if available. Route the 10 metre cable carefully along walls or cable trays, avoiding sharp bends or heavy objects placed on top of the line to maintain optimal performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your hardware devices require a 9 pin D-sub serial connection with a 1:1 pinout.
• Measure the required distance between your devices to ensure the 10 metre length is appropriate for your layout.
• Check the physical space around your ports to ensure the molded hoods fit comfortably without obstruction.

For optimal longevity and signal integrity, route the cable away from heavy power lines and electromagnetic interference sources, and avoid pulling the cable by the wire itself during disconnection.
