RS232 Cable M - F 6 m ROLINE

The ROLINE RS232 Cable M - F 6 m is a 6-metre serial cable with two 25‑pole D‑Sub (DB25) connectors, designed to connect a switchbox to a computer or link two serial interfaces. All 25 lines are wired 1:1 and the screen conductor is joined to the cable foil shield and both connector shells to reduce interference. The connector housings are moulded with a special plastic for improved strain relief, and bronze contacts are gold‑plated to ensure stable contact quality.

Advantages

The cable provides very good shielding to minimise data loss and electromagnetic interference over the 6 m length. Hand locking screws on both connectors allow secure mechanical connection without tools. Gold‑plated bronze contacts offer corrosion resistance and reliable signal transmission, while the moulded connector casings improve durability and reduce mechanical stress at the connection points.

Suitable for

• Connecting a switchbox to a computer with RS232/DB25 ports
• Linking two devices with serial DB25 interfaces
• Industrial or office environments requiring a 6 m RS232 connection

Key specifications

• Length: 6 m
• Connectors: 2 × 25‑pin D‑Sub (DB25) — male to female
• Wiring: 25 lines connected 1:1
• Shielding: foil screen with screen conductor tied to both connector shells
• Contacts: bronze with gold plating
• Connector casing: moulded plastic for strain relief
• Locking: hand screws

How to use

Align the DB25 connectors with the corresponding RS232 ports on your devices (male to female), push the connectors gently together and secure each connector using the hand locking screws. Ensure the cable is routed without sharp bends and avoid placing it parallel to high‑voltage power lines to reduce interference. For best performance, check that both devices use compatible serial settings and that connectors are fully seated.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long‑term operation, avoid excessive mechanical strain at the connector ends, periodically inspect the gold‑plated contacts for contamination, and keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources. If used in harsh industrial settings, consider additional protective routing or conduit.
