Serial cable GEMBIRD 50224 — DB-9 to DB-9, grey, 2 m

GEMBIRD 50224 serial cable is a 2 m grey DB-9 to DB-9 cable designed for RS-232 serial connections. It features a 9-pin D-sub connector at each end — one male and one female — to enable direct serial data transfer between computers, modems, industrial controllers, legacy peripherals and measurement instruments. The cable is supplied as a single piece and meets RoHS requirements, making it suitable for diagnostics, configuration and device communication tasks where a standard DB-9 serial link is required.

Advantages

The cable provides a straightforward wired RS-232 interface with standard DB-9 connectors, ensuring broad compatibility with equipment that uses 9-pin D-sub ports. At 2 m length it offers a balance between reach and signal integrity for desktop and bench applications. The grey jacket improves visual integration with common industrial and office setups while the single-piece supply simplifies installation and replacement.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs to modems, serial printers and terminals
• Linking industrial controllers, PLCs and measurement instruments
• Diagnostics and configuration of network equipment and embedded devices
• Interfacing legacy peripherals that require RS-232 communication

Key specifications

• Connector type: DB-9 male to DB-9 female (9-pin D-sub)
• Cable length: 2 m
• Cable colour: grey
• Signal standard: RS-232 serial
• Quantity supplied: 1 piece
• Compliance: RoHS

How to use

Connect the DB-9 male connector to the corresponding female RS-232 port on the host device and the DB-9 female connector to the target device with a male RS-232 port. Ensure connectors are seated firmly and secure any fastening screws if present to maintain a stable connection. Configure serial port settings (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits, flow control) on both devices to match application requirements before initiating communication.

Usage recommendations

Place the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and high-voltage power lines to reduce potential interference. For reliable results in industrial environments, verify connector integrity periodically and replace the cable if signs of wear, bent pins or shielding damage appear.
