InLine B-12211 Serial Extension Cable DB-9 Male to Female Molded 1:1 15 m Grey

The InLine B-12211 serial extension cable is a reliable solution designed for extending serial connections over a long distance of 15 metres. Featuring a DB-9 male connector on one end and a DB-9 female connector on the other, this cable uses a standard 1:1 pinout configuration to ensure accurate and stable data transmission. Supplied in a practical bulk pack of 10 pieces, it is tailored for professional installations, industrial environments, and IT setups where multiple legacy devices need to be connected efficiently.

Advantages

This serial extension cable offers a generous length of 15 metres, allowing flexible placement of peripherals without signal loss concerns. The moulded connectors provide enhanced durability and strain relief, protecting the connection points from daily wear and tear. Thanks to the 1:1 pinout configuration, the cable guarantees straightforward compatibility with standard serial interfaces. The neutral grey colour blends discreetly into office and industrial interiors. Furthermore, the bulk packaging approach minimizes unnecessary waste while offering a cost-effective supply for larger projects.

Suitable for

• Extending RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 serial interfaces over longer distances
• Connecting legacy hardware and industrial equipment to a PC or server
• Setting up professional IT environments requiring multiple cable runs
• Linking data switches and peripheral devices in commercial applications

This cable is not suitable for high-speed digital video or audio transmission, as it is strictly designed for serial data communication. It should also be avoided for connections requiring null-modem or crossed pinout configurations, as this cable utilizes a strict 1:1 straight-through assignment.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 15 m
• Connector 1: DB-9 male straight
• Connector 2: DB-9 female straight
• Pinout: 1:1 assignment
• Colour: Grey
• Quantity: 10 pieces per pack

To use the serial extension cable, ensure that both the computer or server and the peripheral device are powered off before making any physical connections. Plug the DB-9 male connector into the existing serial port or cable, and attach the DB-9 female connector to the target device. Secure any retaining screws on the connectors to prevent accidental disconnection during operation. Once securely fastened, power on your equipment and verify the communication link through your operating system or device management software.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your devices utilize standard DB-9 serial connections and require a 1:1 pinout rather than a crossed configuration
• Measure the required distance to ensure the 15-metre length is sufficient for your routing path without excessive slack
• Confirm whether you require a bulk pack of 10 pieces for multiple installations or if a single cable would suffice

Always route the cable away from heavy power lines and sources of electromagnetic interference to maintain optimal signal integrity during data transmission.
