D-Sub extension cable ShiverPeaks AK 4040 25-pin Male/Female 1.8 m

The D-Sub extension cable ShiverPeaks AK 4040 25-pin Male/Female 1.8 m extends existing 25-pin D-Sub connections to provide additional reach between devices. With a standard 25-pin male connector on one end and a matching 25-pin female connector on the other, this cable maintains pin-to-pin continuity for serial, VGA or other applications that use the 25-pin D-Sub form factor. The 1.8 m length allows flexible placement of desktop PCs, monitors, legacy peripherals and industrial equipment without modifying original cabling.

Advantages

This extension cable delivers straightforward plug-and-play extension of 25-pin D-Sub connections while preserving the original pinout and signal routing. The male/female configuration avoids re-pinning and allows quick connection and disconnection during setup or maintenance. The 1.8 m length reduces the need for custom cables and supports common desktop and industrial layouts. Design and connectors follow standard D-Sub geometry to ensure compatibility with a wide range of devices and ports.

Suitable for

• Extending serial or parallel D-Sub 25-pin connections between devices
• Connecting VGA devices or monitors that use a 25-pin interface adaptor
• Linking desktop PCs, legacy peripherals and external controllers in office or workshop environments
• Temporary setups, testing benches and service work where additional cable length is required

Key specifications

• Connector type: 25-pin D-Sub Male to 25-pin D-Sub Female
• Cable length: 1.8 m
• Configuration: Straight-through pin-to-pin wiring for continuity
• Use environment: Suitable for desktop, office, industrial and laboratory equipment
• Compatibility: Standard 25-pin D-Sub ports and devices

How to use

Ensure both devices are powered off before connecting the extension cable. Align the 25-pin male connector with the mating female port and gently insert until the connector seats. Secure the connection using any available thumbscrews or fastening elements on the device ports to prevent accidental disconnection. If using for video or serial communications, verify device settings and cable orientation, then power on the devices and test the connection for signal integrity.

Recommendations

For reliable signal transmission, avoid running the D-Sub extension cable parallel to high-voltage power lines or heavy electromagnetic sources. Keep connector contacts clean and store the cable coiled without sharp bends to prolong service life. For permanent installations, consider strain relief at connection points and periodic inspection of fastening screws to maintain a secure mechanical and electrical connection.
