ACT 5 m sarjaliitäntäkaapeli 1:1 15-napainen D-Sub uros – 15-napainen D-Sub naaras

The ACT 5 metre Serial 1:1 connection cable features a 15 pin D-sub male connector on one end and a 15 pin D-sub female connector on the other. Designed for serial data transmission, this 5 m cable provides straightforward wiring with a one-to-one pin mapping and a neutral ivory jacket that blends into professional environments. The cable is intended for direct connection between RS-232 compatible devices, peripheral equipment and serial ports on industrial or consumer hardware where a standard DE-15 style D-sub interface is used.

Advantages

This ACT serial cable offers a fixed 1:1 pin configuration that preserves signal mapping between devices and reduces the need for custom wiring. The 5 metre length gives flexibility in equipment placement without compromising signal integrity for typical serial speeds. The male-to-female configuration simplifies connection to devices and adapters, while the durable outer jacket and molded connectors support repeated use and secure fits.

Suitable for

• Connecting RS-232 serial devices such as modems, older printers and barcode scanners
• Linking serial ports on computers, industrial controllers and measurement instruments
• Extending cable reach between equipment racks, workstations and control panels

Key specifications

• Connector type: 15 pin D-sub male to 15 pin D-sub female
• Cable length: 5 metres
• Wiring: 1:1 (straight-through) pin mapping
• Colour: ivory
• Intended signal type: serial (RS-232 compatible)

How to use

Connect the 15 pin D-sub male end to the female serial port of one device and the 15 pin D-sub female end to the male serial port of the other device, ensuring secure seating of the connectors and tightening any available thumbscrews or fastening hardware. Verify that both devices share compatible serial settings (baud rate, parity, data bits and stop bits) and that required control signals are present if hardware flow control is used. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference to maintain reliable transmission.

Recommendations

For consistent performance, avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines and keep connector contacts clean. Use the 1:1 cable where direct pin-to-pin mapping is required; for devices needing null-modem connections or pin remapping, use an appropriate adapter or a cable specifically wired for that purpose.
