D‑SUB extension cable ShiverPeaks AK 4043 25‑pin Male–Female 3 m

The D‑SUB extension cable ShiverPeaks AK 4043 25‑pin Male–Female 3 m is designed to extend existing D‑SUB connections while maintaining original pin mapping. The cable provides a straightforward passthrough for signals between devices that use a 25‑pin D‑SUB interface, enabling flexible placement of peripherals, instruments or legacy computer equipment without changing connector wiring.

Advantages

This 3 m extension preserves the standard 25‑pin D‑SUB pinout and provides a secure male‑to‑female connection that minimizes signal rearrangement during extension. The cable is suitable for repeated plug/unplug cycles and helps reduce strain on device ports by moving frequent connections to the extension. Its length offers greater placement flexibility in desktop, laboratory or industrial environments.

Suitable for

• Extending serial or parallel D‑SUB connections for workstations
• Connecting measurement instruments and laboratory equipment
• Linking industrial devices and control systems with D‑SUB interfaces
• Connecting legacy computer interfaces and peripherals

Key specifications

• Connector configuration: 25‑pin Male to 25‑pin Female
• Cable length: 3 m
• Pin mapping: straight passthrough (preserved pinout)
• Intended signal types: serial, parallel, and general-purpose D‑SUB signals
• Contact layout: standard D‑SUB 25‑pin layout compatible with common equipment

How to use

Connect the male end of the extension cable to the female D‑SUB port on the host device and attach the peripheral or instrument to the female end of the cable. Ensure connectors are aligned to avoid bent pins and fasten any thumb screws or retaining hardware to secure the connection. The cable functions as a direct extension and does not require configuration changes on connected devices.

Recommendations

For stable signal transmission, avoid sharp bends and excessive mechanical stress along the 3 m length. Keep cable runs away from high‑voltage power lines and strong electromagnetic sources to reduce interference. If used in industrial environments, route the cable to minimize exposure to moving parts and protect connectors with dust caps when not in use.
