The ACT 3 metre Serial 1:1 connection cable is a reliable solution designed for connecting serial devices, legacy hardware, and industrial equipment. Featuring a standard 1:1 pin configuration with 9-pin D-sub female connectors on both ends, this 3-metre cable ensures stable and secure data transmission in various office and technical environments. Its durable construction and neutral ivory color make it a practical choice for professional setups requiring dependable serial communication.

Advantages

This serial connection cable is built with molded hoods that provide enhanced strain relief and long-lasting durability during regular use. The three-metre length offers sufficient reach between distant equipment without creating unnecessary cable clutter. The straight-through 1:1 wiring configuration ensures direct signal transfer without compatibility issues, making it straightforward to integrate into existing serial infrastructures.

Suitable for

• Connecting legacy hardware and industrial equipment with 9-pin serial ports
• Establishing stable data transmission between computers and serial peripherals
• Office and technical setups requiring a 3-metre reach

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not designed for modern high-speed peripheral connections that require USB, HDMI, or network interfaces. It will also not function correctly with devices requiring null modem crossover wiring instead of a standard 1:1 connection.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3.00 m
• Connector A: 9-pin D-sub female
• Connector B: 9-pin D-sub female
• Wiring configuration: 1:1
• Hood type: Molded
• Colour: Ivory

How to use

To use the ACT serial connection cable, ensure that both connected devices are powered off before installation. Align the 9-pin D-sub female connector with the serial port on the first device, insert it securely, and tighten any retaining screws if available. Repeat the process for the second device at the opposite end of the cable. Once both connections are secure, power on your equipment and verify the communication link through your operating system or device software.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that both of your devices feature 9-pin D-sub male serial ports compatible with female connectors
• Check if your application requires a 1:1 straight-through connection rather than a null modem crossover
• Confirm that the 3-metre length is appropriate for the physical distance between your equipment

Always route the cable away from sharp edges, heavy foot traffic, and sources of electromagnetic interference to maintain signal integrity and extend the lifespan of the connection.
