ACT Serial Printer Cable 9-Pin D-Sub Socket - 9-Pin D-Sub Socket 3 m

The ACT Serial Printer Cable AK7323 is a 3-meter serial cable with 9-pin D-sub female connectors on both ends, designed for connecting printers and other RS-232 serial devices. Its ivory color and molded hoods provide a durable, professional-looking connection suitable for offices, retail points of sale, and industrial setups.

Advantages

The cable offers a reliable physical connection for data transmission between serial devices with female 9-pin D-sub ports. Molded hoods add strain relief and protection at the connector ends, while the 3 m length gives flexibility in device placement. The cable is compatible with standard RS-232 serial interfaces used by many printers and legacy peripherals.

Suitable for

• Connecting serial printers to POS systems or computers
• Linking legacy serial devices (modems, barcode scanners, scales)
• Temporary or semi-permanent installations requiring a 3 m reach

How to use

Identify the 9-pin D-sub female ports on both the printer and the host device. Align the connector shells with the device ports and press gently until seated; secure with any available thumbscrews if the device supports them. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and pinch points to preserve integrity. Use the 3 m length to place devices at a convenient distance while maintaining a tidy installation.

Recommendations

For stable communication, ensure both devices are configured for the same serial settings (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits). Avoid running the cable parallel to mains power lines for long distances to reduce interference. Inspect molded hoods and connectors periodically for wear and replace the cable if connector pins or housings are damaged.
