RS232 Cable Lindy 0.5m

The Lindy 0.5m RS232 Cable provides a compact serial connection with a 9-pin D-Sub Male to 9-pin D-Sub Female interface. At 0.5 meters long, the cable is intended for short-distance device linking where space is limited. The construction focuses on reliable data transmission for RS232 serial communication, suitable for point-to-point connections between computers, controllers, and legacy equipment that use the D-Sub 9-pin standard.

Advantages

This RS232 cable offers a short, manageable length that reduces clutter and signal degradation over short runs. The male-to-female 9-pin D-Sub connectors ensure straightforward mating with standard serial ports without adapters. The cable is built for durability and stable electrical contact to support consistent RS232 communication in industrial, office, or laboratory settings.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to serial peripherals (modems, serial printers)
• Linking industrial controllers, PLCs, and measurement instruments
• Establishing console or configuration ports on networking equipment
• Short-run serial communication where space is limited

Key specifications

• Connector A: 9-pin D-Sub Male (DE-9)
• Connector B: 9-pin D-Sub Female (DE-9)
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Signal type: RS232 serial
• Contact plating: corrosion-resistant finish for reliable connections
• Typical use: point-to-point serial data transmission

How to use

Connect the 9-pin D-Sub Male end to the RS232 port of the host device and plug the 9-pin D-Sub Female end onto the peripheral's male serial connector. Ensure screws on the D-Sub connectors are tightened to secure the connection and prevent accidental disconnection. Verify serial communication settings (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits) on both devices to match RS232 protocol parameters before initiating data transfer.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use this 0.5m RS232 cable for short-distance connections and avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power cables to minimize electrical interference. Inspect connectors for secure seating and clean contacts if connections become intermittent. For longer distances or higher noise environments consider shielded or longer-rated serial solutions appropriate to RS232 signaling limits.
