RS232 Cable Pinouts

RS-232 (Recommended Standard 232) is the standard for establishing serial data signals connection between DTE (Data Terminal
Equipment) and DCE (Data Circuit-terminating Equipment). For over 40 years this standard is commonly used in computers, networking and
telecommunication. A similar ITU-T standard is V.24. Detailed description of the standard is available from Wikipedia and many other
sources in the Internet. This page provides only the list of signals used in RS232 and pinouts of most commonly used types of serial cables.
In all the cases the length of the cable should not exceed 25 feet (about 7.5 meters) unless a signal booster is used. Most commonly used
types of serial cable connectors are 9-pin connector DB9 and 25-pin connector DB25. Each of them can be of female or male type as shown
on the following image.
