InLine Serial Cable DB-9 Male to Female 1:1 3 m Beige

The InLine Serial Cable DB-9 Male to Female 1:1 3 m Beige is a reliable data cable designed for secure data transmission and seamless device connectivity. Featuring a 3-meter length, this cable is engineered to connect legacy peripherals, serial printers, data switches, and communication equipment to a PC or server in both office and industrial environments. It utilizes a standard 1:1 pinout configuration with a 9-pin Sub-D plug and a 9-pin Sub-D socket, making it suitable for connecting, extending, or adapting RS232, RS422, and RS485 interfaces. Built with durable materials and molded connectors, this beige serial cable ensures stable, long-term performance.

Advantages

This serial extension cable provides a stable connection for legacy and industrial hardware, helping to maintain communication integrity over a three-meter distance. The 1:1 straight pinout configuration ensures direct signal transfer without signal cross-wiring issues. Molded connectors offer enhanced strain relief and durability against daily wear and tear in active work environments. The neutral beige color blends easily into professional or office settings. Furthermore, this product is supplied in bulk packaging containing multiple units, designed to reduce excess individual waste and provide a cost-effective solution for larger installations or ongoing maintenance needs.

Suitable for

• Connecting legacy serial printers to a PC or server
• Extending existing RS232, RS422, or RS485 interfaces
• Linking data switches and communication equipment
• Office and industrial hardware setups requiring a 9-pin connection

This cable may not be suitable for modern consumer devices that lack standard 9-pin serial ports, such as contemporary laptops or consumer PCs without legacy interface expansion cards. It is also not designed for high-speed network data transfers typical of Ethernet cables or high-bandwidth video transmission.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 m
• Connector 1: DB-9 Male Straight
• Connector 2: DB-9 Female Straight
• Pinout assignment: 1:1
• Wire size: 28 AWG
• Cable diameter: 5.4 mm
• Interface compatibility: RS232, RS422, RS485
• Color: Beige

To use the serial cable, ensure that both connected devices are powered off before plugging in the connectors to prevent potential electrostatic discharge or interface damage. Align the 9-pin male connector of the cable with the female port on the source device or previous cable, and align the female socket with the male port on the peripheral device. Push the connectors straight into place and secure any integrated thumbscrews firmly to maintain a stable physical connection and prevent accidental disconnection during data transmission.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your hardware features standard 9-pin DB-9 serial ports compatible with RS232, RS422, or RS485 protocols.
• Check the required cable length to ensure the 3-meter distance adequately spans between your connected devices.
• Confirm whether you require a 1:1 straight-through pinout configuration for your specific peripheral setup.
• Take note of the bulk pack quantity if you are purchasing for a multi-unit deployment or enterprise installation.

Usage recommendations: Handle the cable by the molded connector housings rather than pulling directly on the wire during disconnection to prolong its operational lifespan. Route the cable away from sharp edges, heavy foot traffic areas, and intense electromagnetic sources to ensure uninterrupted signal transmission.
