InLine Serial Cable DB25 Male to DB25 Female 3 Meters Grey Direct Connection

The InLine serial cable featuring a molded design with a DB25 male connector on one end and a DB25 female connector on the other is engineered for reliable data transmission between legacy serial devices, printers, and computers in professional or home office environments. This 3-meter grey and beige direct connection cable provides a dependable physical link for various technical setups, ensuring consistent signal transfer without requiring complex configurations.

Advantages

The universal 1:1 pinout ensures direct signal transmission without adaptation, enabling seamless integration into existing serial systems. Molded connectors provide a stable mechanical connection and reduce interference caused by movement. This flexible extension cable is ideal for extending existing interfaces without additional configuration effort, while wide compatibility supports RS232, RS422, and RS485 interfaces for versatile applications. The robust design is suitable for permanent installations and recurring connections in demanding technical environments.

Suitable for

• Extending existing RS232, RS422, and RS485 serial interfaces
• Connecting legacy peripheral devices and printers to computers
• Technical maintenance work and temporary system setups
• Permanent installations in professional or home office environments

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not designed for modern USB or network data transmission protocols and cannot be used with devices lacking a 25-pin Sub-D interface. It is also unsuitable for applications requiring crossed pin configurations or signal conversion, as it features a strict 1:1 direct wiring design.

Key specifications

• 25-pin Sub-D male plug to 25-pin Sub-D female plug
• Molded and potted connector design
• 1:1 direct pinout assignment
• Cable length of 3 meters
• Supports RS232, RS422, and RS485 interfaces
• Color: Beige / Grey

How to use

To use the InLine serial cable, ensure that both connected devices are powered off before making any physical connections. Plug the DB25 male connector into the corresponding serial port on your computer or control system, and attach the DB25 female connector to the peripheral device or extension cable. Secure any thumbscrews if present on the connectors to prevent accidental disconnection. Once connected, power on the equipment and verify that data transmission is operating normally through your system software.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that both of your devices feature compatible 25-pin Sub-D serial ports
• Confirm that a 3-meter cable length is sufficient for your physical setup
• Check whether your equipment requires a 1:1 straight-through pin assignment rather than a null-modem configuration

Usage recommendations: Route the cable away from heavy foot traffic and strong electromagnetic interference sources to maintain optimal signal integrity. Avoid sharp bends near the molded connectors to prolong the service life of the cable.
