ACT 20 metre Serial 1:1 connection cable 9 pin D-sub male - 9 pin D-sub female White

The ACT 20 metre Serial 1:1 connection cable with a 9-pin D-sub male connector and a 9-pin D-sub female connector is engineered to provide reliable long-distance serial data transmission. Designed for hardware devices, industrial equipment, and legacy peripherals, this white cable ensures precise pin-to-pin mapping for stable communication between compatible systems.

Advantages

This serial extension cable delivers dependable performance over an extended reach of twenty metres, making it suitable for setups where devices are positioned far apart. The inclusion of molded hoods and molded connectors enhances overall durability and provides strain relief at connection points, minimizing wear during regular use. The straight male and female connectors allow for straightforward integration into existing hardware configurations without requiring complex adapters.

Suitable for

• Connecting legacy peripherals to host computers over long distances
• Linking industrial equipment requiring 1:1 serial data communication
• Extending existing 9-pin D-sub serial connections in office or technical environments

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not designed for modern high-speed video displays or standard monitor connections, despite the physical connector similarity to VGA standards. It is intended strictly for serial data transmission and will not function as a video signal cable.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 20 metres
• Connector 1: 9-pin D-sub straight male
• Connector 2: 9-pin D-sub straight female
• Wiring configuration: 1:1 connection
• Color: White
• Molded hoods and connectors

How to use

Ensure that both connected devices are powered off before plugging in the cable. Insert the 9-pin D-sub male connector into the corresponding serial port on one device and secure it using the integrated screws if available. Connect the 9-pin D-sub female end to the target peripheral or extension port. Once securely attached, power on your hardware and verify the serial communication settings through your operating system or device software.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your devices feature 9-pin D-sub serial ports and require a 1:1 pin mapping configuration
• Confirm that a twenty-metre length is appropriate for your physical setup and signal requirements
• Check that your hardware utilizes standard serial communication rather than video or specialized proprietary protocols

Always route the cable away from heavy power lines and sources of electromagnetic interference to maintain signal integrity over the twenty-metre distance, and avoid sharp bends that could damage internal wiring.
