Serial interlink connection cable ACT 1.8 metre 9 pin D-sub female - 9 pin D-sub female

The ACT 1.8 metre serial interlink connection cable has molded hoods and 9-pin D-sub female connectors on both ends. The ivory-coloured cable is 1.80 m long and uses a specific wiring scheme to link serial devices for file transfer and laplink applications, providing a direct point-to-point serial connection.

Advantages

The cable provides a reliable physical connection between two serial ports using matching 9-pin D-sub female connectors. Molded hoods improve strain relief and connector durability, while the 1.80 m length offers flexibility in typical desktop and equipment-room setups. The defined wiring (1+6)-4, 2-3, 3-2, 4-(1+6), 5-5, 7-8, 8-7 ensures correct pin mapping for serial interlink and file transfer applications.

Suitable for

• Direct serial interlink between two computers or devices for file transfer (Laplink)
• Connecting legacy serial equipment with 9-pin D-sub female ports
• Short to medium distance serial communication in office or workshop environments

How to use

Connect each 9-pin D-sub female connector to the corresponding serial port on the devices you want to link. Ensure connectors are fully seated and secured if the equipment has fastening screws. Use the cable for direct file transfers or serial communication sessions according to your software’s instructions; no additional configuration is required at the cable level.

Usage recommendations

For reliable data transfer, avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines and keep total cable length within the specified 1.80 m to minimise signal degradation. Inspect molded hoods and connectors for damage before use.
