InLine Null Modem Cable DB9 Female to DB9 Female Molded 10m Beige

The InLine null modem cable DB9 female to DB9 female molded 10m beige is a specialized serial communication cable designed for direct data transfer between computers, legacy equipment, and various industrial systems. Measuring 10 meters in length, this beige serial cable features molded DB-9 female connectors on both ends to ensure a durable and secure connection across extended distances. Built with a dedicated null modem pin configuration, it allows two serial devices to communicate directly without the need for extra adapters, converters, or active components. The robust molded construction provides high mechanical stability, protecting the internal connections from daily wear, tear, and external physical stress. Equipped with proper shielding to reduce external interference, this 10-meter cable delivers stable signal quality for various serial interface environments.

Advantages

The integrated null modem configuration of this cable facilitates straightforward device connectivity by crossing the transmit and receive lines internally, eliminating the requirement for external interface adapters. High mechanical stability is achieved through the durable molded connector design, which effectively safeguards the internal pins against strain and mechanical wear during frequent use. Shielded construction actively minimizes external electromagnetic interference, supporting consistent and dependable data transmission across the entire ten-meter span. The neutral beige sheath integrates easily into standard office, laboratory, or industrial settings without standing out.

Suitable for

• Connecting two computers or serial terminals directly for data transfer
• Linking legacy industrial machinery and automation equipment with serial ports
• Configuring networking hardware, routers, and switches via console ports
• Applications utilizing RS232, RS422, and RS485 serial interface standards

This cable may not be suitable for general peripheral connections that require parallel interfaces, USB standards, or standard straight-through serial extensions, as it features a specific null modem crossover pin assignment rather than a standard pin-to-pin configuration. It is also not intended for high-speed modern consumer data transfers that exceed the bandwidth capabilities of traditional serial interface connections.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 10 meters
• Connector type 1: DB-9 female
• Connector type 2: DB-9 female
• Pin configuration: Null modem crossover
• Design: Molded and potted connectors
• Colour: Beige
• Supported interfaces: RS232, RS422, RS485

To use the cable, ensure that both connected devices are powered off before plugging the DB-9 female connectors into the corresponding serial ports of the respective hardware. Secure the connector thumbscrews firmly to prevent accidental disconnection or strain on the ports during operation. Verify that the software communication settings, such as baud rate and flow control, match on both connected devices to achieve successful data transfer.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your devices feature standard DB-9 serial ports and require a null modem crossover connection rather than a straight-through cable
• Check that the 10-length is sufficient to span the distance between your target devices without causing excessive cable tension
• Confirm the interface compatibility with your specific hardware setup, such as RS232, RS422, or RS485

For optimal performance and longevity, route the cable away from heavy power lines or sources of strong electromagnetic interference, and avoid sharp bends or heavy objects resting on the 10-meter span.
