ROLINE RS232 Serial Cable Male to Male D-Sub DB-25 to DB-25 Grey

The ROLINE RS232 Serial Cable Male to Male D-Sub DB-25 to DB-25 Grey is designed to provide a stable and reliable connection for legacy hardware, industrial equipment, and peripheral devices requiring DB-25 interface connectivity. Measuring 4.5 meters in length, this grey serial cable ensures secure data transmission between serial devices and computers. Featuring 25 lines connected 1:1 and high-quality screening, it effectively prevents data loss and electromagnetic interference in various working environments.

Advantages

This serial cable offers robust construction with special plastic moulded connector casings that provide excellent strain relief during frequent use. The bronze contacts feature a gold coating to ensure optimal conductivity and resistance to wear. Integrated hand locking screws allow for secure and stable connections that prevent accidental disconnection during operation. Furthermore, the comprehensive foil screening protects signals from external interference, maintaining data integrity.

Suitable for

• Connecting legacy computers to serial printers or plotters
• Linking switchboxes with computers or other serial interfaces
• Maintaining industrial equipment with DB-25 serial communication ports
• Connecting scientific instruments and specialized measurement devices

This cable may not be suitable for modern consumer electronics or devices that utilize USB, HDMI, or network interfaces instead of traditional RS232 serial ports. It is also not intended for high-speed networking tasks that exceed standard serial data transfer rates.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 4.5 meters
• Connector 1: D-Sub DB-25 Male
• Connector 2: D-Sub DB-25 Male
• Pin configuration: 25 lines connected 1:1
• Screening: Foil screen connected to the screen line and both connectors
• Contact material: Bronze with gold coating
• Locking mechanism: Hand locking screws
• Colour: Grey

To use the cable, ensure that both connected devices are powered off before plugging in the connectors. Align the male D-Sub DB-25 connectors with the corresponding ports on your computer, switchbox, or peripheral equipment. Insert the connectors gently without forcing them and tighten the hand locking screws securely to maintain a firm connection. Once secured, power on your devices and verify the communication link.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that both of your devices feature a 25-pin D-Sub serial port rather than a 9-pin port
• Check the required cable length to ensure the 4.5-meter reach is sufficient for your setup
• Confirm whether your equipment requires a straight-through 1:1 connection

For optimal performance and to maintain signal integrity, route the cable away from heavy power lines and high-voltage electrical equipment to minimize potential electromagnetic interference.
