InLine Serial Extension Cable, DB9 Male to DB9 Female, 1:1 Assigned, Moulded, Beige, 10 m

The InLine Serial Extension Cable, DB9 Male to DB9 Female, 1:1 Assigned, Moulded, Beige, 10 m is a reliable solution for extending existing serial connections over longer distances. Featuring a 9-pin male Sub-D connector on one end and a 9-pin female Sub-D connector on the other, this 10-metre cable ensures stable data transmission for various communication hardware and legacy peripherals. Built with a 1:1 pin assignment and moulded connectors, it offers a secure and direct link without cross-wiring, making it suitable for professional environments, industrial settings, and home offices alike.

Advantages

This serial extension cable provides a dependable way to bridge distance gaps between serial devices without signal degradation. The 1:1 pin assignment guarantees that all signals are transmitted directly and accurately, maintaining the original communication structure of RS232, RS422, or RS485 interfaces. Its durable moulded design enhances mechanical stability at the connection points, protecting against daily wear and tear. Furthermore, the neutral beige finish blends discreetly into most office or industrial interiors.

Suitable for

• Extending RS232, RS422, and RS485 serial connections between computers and peripheral devices
• Connecting legacy peripherals such as older printers, plotters, and scientific instruments
• Linking industrial automation equipment and control systems over a 10-metre distance
• Professional IT setups and home office environments requiring stable serial communication

This cable may not be suitable for high-speed modern data transfers that require USB, HDMI, or network cabling, as it is strictly designed for 9-pin serial interface communication. It is also not recommended for installations where the required distance significantly exceeds ten metres without signal amplification.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 10 m
• Connector 1: 9-pin male Sub-D
• Connector 2: 9-pin female Sub-D
• Pin assignment: 1:1 direct
• Wire gauge: 28 AWG
• Colour: Beige
• Design: Moulded connectors

To use the serial extension cable, ensure that both connected devices are powered off before making any physical connections. Align the 9-pin male Sub-D connector of the cable with the female port on your computer or control unit, and gently push it in until secure. Connect the other end of the cable, featuring the 9-pin female Sub-D connector, to the corresponding male port on your peripheral device. Tighten any thumb screws on the connectors if applicable to prevent accidental disconnection during operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your devices feature standard 9-pin Sub-D serial interfaces
• Check if a 10-metre cable length is appropriate for your specific physical layout
• Confirm that your hardware utilises standard RS232, RS422, or RS485 serial protocols

Usage recommendations: Inspect the cable and connectors periodically for signs of physical damage or dust accumulation. Avoid sharp bends, heavy mechanical tension, or running the cable near high-voltage power lines to maintain optimal signal integrity.
