ROLINE Serial Printer Cable, DB9 Female to DB25 Male, 3 m

The ROLINE Serial Printer Cable, featuring a DB9 female connector and a DB25 male connector, provides a reliable 3-meter connection for legacy hardware. This grey cable is engineered for stable data transmission, making it an essential tool for connecting serial printers, modems, and various peripheral devices to computers. Its robust construction and high-quality materials ensure consistent performance in both professional and industrial environments.

Advantages

This cable is designed with durability in mind, featuring connector casings molded with specialized plastic to provide optimal strain relief and prevent cable breakage. The inclusion of high-quality bronze contacts with a gold coating ensures superior conductivity and long-term reliability. Furthermore, the cable incorporates excellent shielding to effectively prevent data loss and minimize electromagnetic interference, ensuring that your data transmission remains accurate and stable during operation.

Suitable for

• Connecting legacy serial printers to computers
• Linking modems to serial ports
• Connecting various industrial peripheral devices
• Data communication between hardware with mismatched serial interfaces

This cable may not be suitable for modern devices that lack serial ports, such as contemporary laptops or tablets, unless used in conjunction with a USB-to-serial adapter. It is also not intended for high-speed data transfer applications that require modern interfaces like USB 3.0 or Ethernet.

Key specifications

• Connector 1: DB9 Female
• Connector 2: DB25 Male
• Cable length: 3 meters
• Color: Grey
• Contact material: Bronze with gold coating
• Locking mechanism: Hand locking screws
• Shielding: High-grade interference protection

To use this cable, simply align the DB9 female connector with the corresponding serial port on your computer or host device and secure it using the integrated hand locking screws. Connect the DB25 male end to your printer, modem, or peripheral device, ensuring the pins are correctly aligned before tightening the screws. Once connected, ensure that the software settings on your computer match the communication parameters of the peripheral device to establish a successful link.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your computer or host device has a physical DB9 serial port
• Confirm the pinout requirements of your specific peripheral device
• Ensure the 3-meter length is sufficient for your workspace layout
• Check if your device requires a null-modem or straight-through cable configuration

For optimal performance and to prevent potential damage to the connectors, always ensure that the cable is not under tension and that the locking screws are fully tightened. Avoid bending the cable at sharp angles to maintain the integrity of the internal shielding.
