RS232 Cable ROLINE M - M 1.8 m

ROLINE RS232 Cable M - M 1.8 m is a grey 25‑way D‑Sub cable with male connectors on both ends, designed to connect devices with RS232 interfaces such as a switchbox to a computer or two serial interfaces. The cable provides a one‑to‑one wiring for all 25 lines and includes a screen line bonded to the cable foil and both connectors to reduce interference.

Advantages

The connector housings are moulded with a special plastic to provide improved strain relief and the hand locking screws ensure secure mechanical connection. Bronze contacts with gold coating support reliable electrical contact, while the very good screening minimizes data loss and electromagnetic interference.

Suitable for

• Connecting a switchbox to a computer via RS232
• Linking two devices with 25‑pin serial interfaces
• Industrial and office equipment requiring shielded serial cabling

How to use

Align the 25‑pin male D‑Sub connectors with the corresponding female ports and gently insert until the connector rests flush. Use the hand locking screws to secure the connectors to the device to prevent accidental disconnection. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling on the cable; route the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference when possible.

Usage recommendations

For stable RS232 communication, ensure both devices use matching serial parameters (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits) and check connectors for secure seating. Replace the cable if visible damage to the jacket, shielding, or connectors is present.
