⚡ At a Glance
- • Connection Reliability: Screw-on DB9 male connectors secure mechanical and electrical contact
- • Best for: Extending serial COM ports to modems, UPS units and industrial peripherals
- • Not ideal for: Setups that require USB or network-based serial adapters
A long-range RS-232 D-Sub lead designed to extend COM port connections. Compatible with a wide range of DB9 console and peripheral devices.
Stable Serial Links - With screw-on DB9 male-to-male connectors
Screw-on connections thread into matching sockets, maintaining firm contact and preventing accidental unplugging. Male-to-male DB9 wiring follows RS-232 pin layouts for standard serial signalling.
Securely fastened plugs reduce intermittent connections during equipment changes. Reliable contact suits lab benches and industrial racks where movement or vibration occurs.
Long Reach for Remote Devices - Thanks to 10m cable length
Cable length measures 1,000 cm with connectors fitted, offering ten metres of reach between endpoints. The extended length keeps serial peripherals and console ports physically separate without additional repeaters.
Easily bridge distant equipment racks, modems and label printers without rearranging furniture. Ideal for setups where mains cabinets and operator stations sit apart.
Clear Physical Fitment Details - With compact plug dimensions and a sturdy cable form
Plug dimensions are 4.8 x 3.3 x 1.6 cm (L x W x H), allowing assessment of clearance in crowded panels. Product weight of 362 g reflects a robust cable assembly suitable for repeated handling.
Compact plugs fit tight ports, while the solid build handles frequent connection cycles. Useful when planning cable routing through trays or behind equipment.
