Serial Cable Vivolink PRORS15 Black 15m RS-232

The Vivolink PRORS15 Black 15m RS-232 is a 15-metre serial cable designed for RS-232 communication between equipment with D-Sub 9 connectors. The cable has moulded D-Sub 9 connectors at each end with 9-pin pass-through functionality and a flexible construction that supports long-distance serial data transmission. Weighing approximately 374 g and finished in black, the cable is intended for reliable, professional and personal installation scenarios where standard RS-232 wiring is required.

Advantages

This RS-232 cable offers a robust design with moulded D-Sub 9 connectors that reduce strain at the connection points and improve contact stability. The 9-pin pass-through functionality preserves the serial pinout for full compatibility with RS-232 devices. The cable’s flexibility and 15 m length make it suitable for installations requiring extended reach without additional signal converters, while the durable construction supports repeated handling and installation.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, modems or serial printers to RS-232 ports
• Linking industrial controllers, PLCs or measurement equipment with D-Sub 9 interfaces
• Serial console access to network devices and routers in server rooms
• Point-to-point data transfer in labs, workshops or classrooms

Key specifications

• Cable type: RS-232 serial cable with D-Sub 9 connectors
• Length: 15 metres
• Connector configuration: moulded D-Sub 9 (9-pin pass-through)
• Colour: black
• Weight: approximately 374 g
• Construction: flexible jacket with strain-relief moulded ends

How to use

Connect each moulded D-Sub 9 connector to the corresponding 9-pin serial port on the devices you wish to link. Ensure connectors are oriented correctly and secure any captive screws if present to maintain a stable mechanical connection. Configure serial communication parameters (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits and flow control) on both devices to match required settings before initiating data transfer. For long runs, verify signal integrity and test communication after installation.

Usage recommendations

Route the cable away from high-voltage power lines and sources of strong electromagnetic interference to reduce noise and data errors. Use cable supports or clips to prevent sharp bends and mechanical stress at the connector ends. For permanent installations, verify connector screws are tight and periodically inspect the jacket for wear. If communication issues occur over long distances, check device settings and consider using line protection or signal conditioning equipment if required.
