Serial cable ASSMANN Electronic D-Sub9 2.0m

The ASSMANN Electronic D-Sub9 2.0m serial cable is a 2-metre communication lead with D-Sub9 connectors on both ends, presented in a grey and black design. It provides a straightforward wired connection for serial devices, enabling point-to-point data transfer and signal transmission for equipment that uses RS-232 or compatible serial interfaces. The cable is built for routine connectivity tasks where a fixed, durable link is required between computers, industrial controllers, measurement instruments, modems and other serial peripherals.

Advantages

This D-Sub9 serial cable offers a reliable mechanical connection with robust connector housings that resist frequent plugging and unplugging. The 2.0 m length balances reach and cable management for desktop and rack-mounted setups. The cable construction is designed for flexibility and long-term use, while the standard D-Sub9 form factor ensures broad compatibility with legacy and current serial ports. The neutral grey/black color helps the cable blend into professional environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs or laptops to serial devices such as modems and routers
• Linking programming consoles and industrial controllers
• Data exchange with measurement instruments and laboratory equipment
• Serial communication for POS systems, cash registers and embedded systems

Key specifications

• Cable type: D-Sub9 serial cable
• Connector type: D-Sub9 (male/female as required by device)
• Length: 2.0 metres
• Colour: grey and black
• Conductor and shielding: standard shielded twisted pair (for reliable signal integrity)
• Usage environment: indoor use, office and industrial control applications

How to use

Connect the D-Sub9 connector to the serial port of each device, ensuring the connector shell is seated and any retention screws are tightened to secure the connection. Configure the serial communication parameters (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits and flow control) on both connected devices according to the requirements of the application. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; if used in a rack, secure the cable with appropriate ties or clips to prevent accidental disconnection.

Recommendations

For stable serial links, match the communication settings on both devices and keep the cable length appropriate for the signal characteristics of the setup. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to reduce interference. Inspect connectors periodically for wear and ensure screws or latches are tightened to maintain good electrical contact.
