Serial RS232 cable gender changer Akyga AK-CO-02, RS232 to RS232, 1 m, white

Akyga AK-CO-02 is a 1 m serial RS232 cable gender changer designed to provide standard RS-232 signal passthrough between devices with RS232 interfaces. The white cable is intended to convert connector gender or extend an existing serial connection for equipment that uses the RS-232 standard, such as modems, POS terminals, legacy computers and industrial devices. The product is terminated with RS232 plugs at both ends and supports basic serial wiring and troubleshooting tasks.

Advantages

The cable offers a simple and compact solution for changing connector gender or extending short RS-232 links without altering device wiring. Its 1 m length balances reach and signal integrity for local connections. The white outer jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for office or service environments. The straightforward passive design requires no external power and enables quick physical reconfiguration of serial connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting or extending RS-232 links between modems and computers
• Interfacing POS systems, receipt printers and cash registers with serial ports
• Linking diagnostic tools and measurement instruments that use RS-232
• Troubleshooting and temporary wiring changes in industrial or workshop settings

Key specifications

• Cable type: RS-232 gender changer / serial extension
• Length: 1 metre
• Color: white
• Connectors: RS-232 plugs on both ends (male-to-male gender changer)
• Function: passive signal passthrough for RS-232 standard

How to use

Connect the RS-232 plug on one end of the cable to the RS-232 port of the first device and the other plug to the second device or to an existing serial cable. Ensure connectors are fully seated and, where present, secure any fastening screws to maintain a stable connection. Use appropriate serial port settings (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits and flow control) on both devices to match the communication parameters required by the connected equipment. The cable is passive and provides direct wiring for standard RS-232 signal lines.

Usage recommendations

For reliable communication, keep cable runs short and avoid routing near high-power cables or strong electromagnetic sources. Verify device serial settings and test with known-good equipment when troubleshooting. This gender changer is intended for RS-232 signal wiring only; do not use it where galvanic isolation or signal conversion is required.
