InLine Serial Cable DB25 Male to DB25 Female Direct Molded 5m

The InLine serial cable DB25 male to DB25 female direct molded 5m is designed for reliable data transmission and interface extension in technical environments. This cable features a 25-pin Sub D male plug on one end and a 25-pin Sub D female plug on the other, utilizing a direct 1:1 pin assignment for straightforward signal transfer without the need for additional configuration. Built with durable, direct molded connectors, it provides mechanical stability and helps protect contact points from external stress during regular operation.

Advantages

This serial extension cable facilitates direct and unchanged signal transmission through its universal 1:1 pinout, allowing for seamless integration into established serial systems. The molded connector design enhances overall mechanical durability, providing a stable connection that minimizes interference caused by movement. With a generous length of five meters, it offers flexible reach for extending existing interfaces without complicated setups. Furthermore, the wide compatibility with multiple interface standards ensures reliable performance across various technical and industrial applications.

Suitable for

• Connecting and extending RS232, RS422, and RS485 interfaces
• Linking legacy peripheral devices to existing infrastructures
• Industrial control systems and technical components
• Permanent installations as well as temporary maintenance setups

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not designed for modern high-speed consumer data transfers such as USB or HDMI connections, as it is strictly built for serial communication standards. It may also be unsuitable for setups requiring specialized crossover or null-modem pin configurations, since it strictly utilizes a direct 1:1 pinout.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 m
• Connector 1: DB25 male (25-pin Sub-D)
• Connector 2: DB25 female (25-pin Sub-D)
• Pinout configuration: 1:1 direct assignment
• Supported interfaces: RS232, RS422, RS485
• Color: Beige
• Connector design: Molded and potted

How to use

To use the serial cable, ensure that both the transmitting and receiving devices are powered off before making any physical connections. Plug the DB25 male connector into the designated serial port of the host system or existing cable, and secure the connection if thumbscrews are present. Then, attach the DB25 female connector to the peripheral device or extension line. Once securely connected, power on your equipment. The 1:1 direct pinout allows the devices to communicate immediately without requiring manual configuration.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your devices utilize DB25 connections and require a straight-through 1:1 pinout rather than a null-modem configuration.
• Measure the distance between your devices to ensure the 5-meter length is adequate for your specific routing needs.
• Check that your hardware supports RS232, RS422, or RS485 serial interfaces.

Usage recommendations: Route the cable carefully to avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling on the molded connectors to ensure maximum longevity and maintain signal integrity in permanent installations.
