Serial Cable Hama 00200622 Black 1.5m

The Hama 00200622 Serial Cable Black 1.5m is a straight serial connection cable with a Sub-D connector designed for reliable data transfer between devices equipped with RS-232 compatible serial ports. With a 1.5 metre length and a black PVC jacket, the cable provides sufficient reach for typical desktop and industrial setups while maintaining a compact and unobtrusive appearance. The cable construction focuses on signal integrity and mechanical durability for consistent performance in office, workshop, and system-integration environments.

Advantages

This serial cable offers stable serial communications with a robust Sub-D connector that resists wear from repeated insertions. The 1.5 m length strikes a balance between flexibility and neat cable management. Its outer jacket resists abrasion and provides basic protection against bending stresses, while internal conductor shielding helps reduce electromagnetic interference in mixed-signal environments. The black finish blends with most equipment and installation schemes.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, routers, switches, or industrial controllers with RS-232 serial ports
• Configuration and console access for network equipment and embedded systems
• Point-of-sale systems, serial printers, barcode scanners, and legacy peripherals
• Test benches and development environments where short to medium cable runs are needed

Key specifications

• Cable type: serial cable with Sub-D connector
• Length: 1.5 m
• Colour: black
• Connector style: Sub-D (male/female as applicable to device pairing)
• Jacket material: PVC
• Intended interface: RS-232 compatible serial communication

How to use

Connect the Sub-D connector to the serial port of the host device and the corresponding connector to the peripheral or console port. Ensure both devices are powered off or follow hot-swap guidelines of the equipment when connecting live. After physical connection, configure communication parameters such as baud rate, parity, data bits, and stop bits in the device software or terminal application to match the counterpart. Secure connectors with screws if present to prevent accidental disconnection during use.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid tight bends and excessive pulling on the cable. Keep the cable away from high-power AC lines and strong EMI sources where possible. Use grounded equipment and proper signal grounding practices when connecting to industrial controllers or legacy hardware. For longer runs or environments with heavy interference, consider using shielded or differential interfaces designed for extended distances.
