Description

C2G 25220 3ft DB9 M/M Serial RS232 Cable - Black

Overview

The C2G 25220 is a 3-foot (0.9-meter) black serial cable featuring DB9 male connectors on both ends. This cable is designed for direct point-to-point communication between two serial devices, commonly used for configuring network equipment, connecting legacy peripherals, or integrating older systems where RS232 communication is still required. Its standard construction ensures broad compatibility with devices employing the RS232 serial interface.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any two devices requiring a standard DB9 male serial port for communication. This includes, but is not limited to, many industrial control systems, network switches and routers (for console access), older point-of-sale terminals, and certain diagnostic tools. It is a straight-through cable, meaning pin 1 on one connector is wired to pin 1 on the other, pin 2 to pin 2, and so on. This is standard for connecting DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) to DCE (Data Communications Equipment) or two DTE devices with appropriate crossover logic handled internally or by the devices themselves.

Installation Notes

Ensure both devices are powered off before connecting or disconnecting the serial cable to prevent potential data corruption or hardware damage. The DB9 connectors feature thumbscrews for secure attachment, ensuring the cable remains connected during operation. Verify that both devices utilize a standard RS232 serial interface and that a straight-through cable is appropriate for your specific application; some configurations may require a null modem (crossover) cable.
