Microconnect IBM029 Serial Cable Grey 3 m DB-9 DB-25

The Microconnect IBM029 is a 3-meter serial cable with a male DB-25 (D‑SUB 25 / IEEE 1284) connector at one end and a male DB-9 (D‑SUB/RS-232) connector at the other. Designed for connecting legacy serial and parallel equipment, the grey cable weighs approximately 110 g and is RoHS certified.

Advantages

This 3 m Microconnect serial cable provides reliable wired communication between devices with DB-25 and DB-9 ports, offering a lightweight and easy-to-handle design. RoHS certification confirms compliance with environmental restrictions, while the standard connectors ensure broad compatibility with industrial, networking and legacy computing equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting serial devices with DB-9 RS-232 ports to equipment with DB-25 or IEEE 1284 ports
• Industrial control systems and programmable logic controllers (PLCs)
• Legacy computers, routers, switches and serial printers

How to use

Connect the male DB-25 end to the device with a DB-25 or IEEE 1284 port and the male DB-9 end to the device with a DB-9 RS-232 port. Ensure connectors are aligned and screws are tightened to secure the connection. Configure serial port settings (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits, flow control) on both devices as required for communication.

Recommendations

Use the cable in environments within normal temperature and humidity ranges, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension, and store the cable coiled without kinks. For reliable data transfer, verify cable pinout compatibility with the connected devices and, if necessary, use appropriate gender changers or null-modem adapters.
