Adam Equipment 3014011014 RS-232 Cable, 9M-9F, 2-Year Warranty

Adam Equipment 3014011014 RS-232 Serial Cable, 9-Pin Male to 9-Pin Female

The Adam Equipment 3014011014 is a straight-through RS-232 serial cable with a 9-pin male connector at one end and a 9-pin female connector at the other (9M-9F). Designed for connecting compatible Adam Equipment balances and scales to serial printers, RS-232-to-USB adapters, or other peripheral devices, it supports the standard serial data output used across the Adam Equipment weighing range.

Key Features

• 9-pin male to 9-pin female (9M-9F) straight-through RS-232 configuration
• Standard DTE-to-DCE wiring for connection to printers, adapters, and serial peripherals
• Enables serial weight data output from compatible Adam balances to external devices
• Supports the full RS-232 signal set including data, status, and handshake lines
• Robust connector housings prevent accidental disconnection during data transfer
• Backed by a 2-year warranty

Detailed Overview

The 9M-9F straight-through configuration is the standard RS-232 wiring used to connect a data terminal equipment (DTE) device — such as an Adam Equipment balance with a male DB9 output port — to a data communications equipment (DCE) device such as a serial printer, a ticket printer, or an RS-232-to-USB converter. This is distinct from a null modem cable, which is used for direct DTE-to-DTE connections, making the 3014011014 the correct choice for peripheral integration rather than direct PC connections.

The cable carries the complete RS-232 signal set that Adam Equipment instruments use for weight data output, remote tare and print commands, and status feedback. Its connector housings are robustly constructed for secure mating with the DB9 ports found on the balance and its peripheral device, preventing data interruptions caused by accidental cable movement. The cable is appropriate for permanent benchtop installations where the balance is connected continuously to a printer or adapter, as well as for temporary setups during calibration or testing.

Applications

• Connecting Adam balances to RS-232-compatible serial ticket or label printers
• Linking balance RS-232 output to RS-232-to-USB serial adapters for modern PCs
• Data terminal integration at industrial weighing and dispatch stations
• Serial communication with older LIMS systems or legacy data collection hardware

Why Choose the Adam Equipment 3014011014?

Using a manufacturer-supplied RS-232 cable removes the uncertainty of sourcing third-party serial cables whose pinout may not match the implementation on Adam Equipment instruments. The 3014011014 is wired correctly for the DTE-to-DCE connections most commonly required in Adam balance peripheral setups, making installation straightforward without additional research or testing. Its 2-year warranty provides long-term confidence in the cable's reliability through repeated daily use.
