EQUATOR Serial printer cable white - Cable (DK234WE15)

In a busy warehouse office, a logistics coordinator connects a legacy dot-matrix printer to a modern PC. The EQUATOR Serial Printer Cable bridges the gap with a DB9 male connector on one end and a DB25 female on the other, maintaining a reliable RS-232 link for printing shipping labels and invoices. Its 1.8-meter length offers flexibility without excess clutter, while the white PVC jacket blends neatly into any workspace.

Key specifications

• Connectors: DB9 male to DB25 female
• Cable length: 1.8 m (approx.)
• Colour: White
• Wiring: Straight-through pinout
• Shielding: Foil and braid shielded for signal integrity
• Conductor material: Copper, 28 AWG

• Compliance: RoHS compliant

Why choose it

This cable ensures dependable serial communication between PCs and legacy peripherals such as serial printers, modems, and industrial equipment. The dual-layer shielding (foil and braid) minimizes electromagnetic interference, reducing data errors even in electrically noisy environments. Nickel-plated connectors resist corrosion, extending the cable's lifespan. The straight-through wiring simplifies setup—no need for null modem adapters when connecting DTE to DCE devices.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting a PC to a serial printer (dot-matrix, label, or receipt printer)
• Linking a computer to an external modem or router console port
• Interfacing with industrial machinery, POS systems, or laboratory instruments that use RS-232
• Replacing worn-out cables in existing serial installations

Good to know

The cable supports standard RS-232 signaling with data rates up to 115.2 kbps, suitable for most legacy and industrial applications. Its 1.8-meter length is ideal for desktop or short-distance connections. The white PVC jacket is durable yet flexible, and the cable is RoHS compliant, meeting environmental standards. For best performance, ensure both devices are powered off before connecting.
