Microconnect SCSEHN15 Serial Cable Grey 15 m DB-9

The Microconnect SCSEHN15 serial cable is a 15-meter grey cable equipped with DB-9 connectors designed for stable and reliable data transmission between computers and legacy peripheral devices. Built to support standard serial communication requirements, this cable provides an extended reach for connecting various hardware setups in office, industrial, or home environments. Featuring a durable construction with shielding and moulded connectors, it ensures consistent performance and secure connections for your critical applications.

Advantages

The cable offers a generous length of 15 meters, providing ample flexibility for device placement and cable routing across larger rooms or workspaces. Equipped with long thumb screws, it allows for secure, tool-free fastening to prevent accidental disconnections during operation. The shielded and moulded design helps protect data signals from external electromagnetic interference and physical wear, ensuring longevity and signal integrity.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to legacy serial peripherals
• Industrial equipment communication setups
• Office environments requiring extended reach for RS-232 devices
• Home setups involving DB-9 compatible hardware

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not suitable for modern high-speed data transfers that require USB, HDMI, or network Ethernet connections, as it is strictly designed for serial communication. Additionally, the 15-meter length may be excessive for close-proximity device connections, potentially creating unnecessary cable clutter in tight spaces.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 15 m
• Connector 1: DB-9 Male
• Connector 2: DB-9 Female
• Pinning: 1:1
• Product colour: Grey
• Features: Shielded, moulded, with long thumb screws

How to use

Ensure that both devices you intend to connect are powered off before plugging in the cable. Align the DB-9 connectors carefully with the serial ports on your computer and peripheral device to avoid bending the internal pins. Push the connectors firmly into place and tighten the integrated thumb screws securely by hand to maintain a stable connection. Once properly secured, power on your devices and verify that communication is established.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that both your host device and peripheral feature compatible DB-9 serial interfaces.
• Measure the required distance between devices to ensure the 15-meter length is appropriate for your layout.
• Check the pinout configuration of your devices to confirm that a 1:1 pinning setup meets your operational needs.

Usage recommendations

Avoid coiling the cable tightly or placing heavy objects on it to prevent internal damage to the conductors and shielding. Route the cable safely away from high-traffic areas to minimize physical strain on the connectors and ports.
