ACT cable de conexión serie 1:1 de 1,8 m conector D-Sub de 15 polos - conector macho D-Sub de 15 polos

The ACT 1.8 metre Serial 1:1 connection cable features 15‑pin D‑sub male connectors on both ends and offers a straightforward point‑to‑point serial link. With a length of 1.80 m and an ivory finish, the cable is designed for reliable data transfer between RS‑232 compatible equipment such as computers, printers, modems and industrial devices. The 1:1 wiring (straight‑through) preserves pin assignments for direct device-to-device communication without signal conversion.

Advantages

This serial cable provides a robust physical connection with standard 15‑pin D‑sub male housings that secure with thumbscrews for a stable fit. The 1.8‑metre length balances desk flexibility with signal integrity, while the straight‑through pinout ensures compatibility with devices that expect direct pin mapping. Its durable jacket and molded connector strain relief increase longevity in routine installations and occasional reconfiguration.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to RS‑232 peripheral devices such as printers and modems
• Linking control units and instrumentation in industrial or laboratory setups
• Replacing or extending existing 15‑pin D‑sub serial links in office and technical environments

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1.80 metres
• Connector type: 15‑pin D‑sub male to 15‑pin D‑sub male
• Wiring: 1:1 straight‑through pin mapping
• Color: ivory
• Connector fastening: thumbscrews for secure attachment
• Jacket: flexible protective outer sheath with molded strain relief

How to use

Align the 15‑pin D‑sub male connectors with the device D‑sub female ports, ensuring proper orientation of the shell. Insert each connector gently until the thumbscrews contact the mating panel, then tighten the thumbscrews by hand to secure the connection. Use the cable for direct serial communication at the configured baud rate and settings of the connected devices; confirm matching serial parameters (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits) in device software or firmware before transmitting data.

Recommendations

To maintain signal reliability, avoid tightly coiling the cable and keep it away from large sources of electromagnetic interference such as heavy power lines or large motors. When installing in permanent or semi‑permanent setups, use the thumbscrews to secure the connectors and check fastenings periodically. For longer runs or environments with high electrical noise, consider using shielded serial options or serial extenders tailored to the application.
