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

The InLine B-12211 Serial Cable DB-9 Male to Female Molded 1:1 15 m Grey is a reliable data transmission solution designed for connecting and extending legacy hardware and serial peripherals. Measuring 15 meters in length, this grey serial extension cable features a standard 1:1 pinout configuration with a 9-pin Sub-D male connector on one end and a 9-pin Sub-D female connector on the other. It is built to support interfaces such as RS232, RS422, and RS485, making it an efficient choice for linking peripheral devices and data switches to a computer or server.

Advantages

This serial cable offers a secure and stable connection thanks to its molded connectors, which help ensure durability during regular use. The generous 15-meter length provides substantial reach for setups where devices are spaced far apart, eliminating the need for multiple shorter cables and additional adapters. Supplied in an environmentally friendly bulk pack of 10 pieces, it reduces packaging waste while offering a cost-effective option for professional installations and multi-device deployments.

Suitable for

• Connecting legacy hardware and serial peripherals to a PC or server
• Extending existing RS232, RS422, or RS485 interface connections
• Industrial equipment communication setups
• Office and laboratory installations requiring long-reach serial data links

When it may not be suitable

This product is not designed for modern high-speed consumer data transfers such as USB or HDMI applications, as it strictly supports 9-pin serial interface standards. Additionally, the 15-meter length may be excessive for simple desktop connections where shorter cables would prevent unnecessary cable clutter.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 15 m
• Connector 1: DB-9 Male straight
• Connector 2: DB-9 Female straight
• Pinout configuration: 1:1
• Color: Grey
• Quantity per pack: 10 pieces

How to use

To use the serial cable, ensure that both connected devices are powered off to prevent interface damage. Connect the 9-pin male connector to the corresponding serial port on your computer, server, or data switch, and secure it using the integrated fastening screws if applicable. Attach the other end with the 9-pin female connector to the peripheral device or extension cable you wish to link. Once both ends are firmly attached and secured, power on your hardware and verify the serial communication link.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your devices feature standard 9-pin DB-9 serial interfaces supporting RS232, RS422, or RS485 protocols.
• Confirm that a 15-meter cable length is appropriate for your physical layout without causing excessive cable slack.
• Evaluate whether a 10-piece pack aligns with your project requirements or if a single unit is sufficient.

Usage recommendations

Store unused cables in a dry environment protected from moisture and extreme temperatures. Avoid tightly coiling or sharply bending the cable during installation to maintain optimal signal integrity over the 15-meter distance.
