D-Sub extension cable ShiverPeaks AK 4050 SC 1:1 25-pin plug to socket, 5 m

ShiverPeaks AK 4050 SC 1:1 25-pin D-Sub extension cable provides a straight-through connection between a 25-pin male plug and a 25-pin female socket over a 5 m length. The cable is intended to extend existing serial or parallel D-Sub connections without changing the original pin assignments, preserving the signal mapping required for printers, industrial devices and legacy computer interfaces. Molded strain reliefs and robust connector housings help maintain reliable mechanical and electrical contact during extended use.

Advantages

The straight-through 1:1 wiring preserves original signal assignments so devices continue to communicate without reconfiguration. At 5 m length the cable offers additional reach for workplace setups while retaining signal integrity for short to moderate distances. Durable molded connectors and strain reliefs reduce mechanical stress at the cable ends and improve connector longevity. The standard 25-pin D-Sub form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of equipment that uses D-Sub parallel or serial interfaces.

Suitable for

• Extending printer connections that use a 25-pin D-Sub interface
• Connecting industrial control devices with D-Sub I/O ports
• Linking legacy computer peripherals and expansion cards
• Temporary or fixed cabling in workshops, labs, and production lines

Key specifications

• Cable type: D-Sub extension, straight-through (1:1) wiring
• Connector A: 25-pin male (D-Sub plug)
• Connector B: 25-pin female (D-Sub socket)
• Length: 5 meters
• Connector housing: molded with strain relief
• Intended signals: parallel/serial D-Sub signals preserved without remapping

How to use

Connect the 25-pin male plug to the device or cable that provides the original D-Sub connection and attach the 25-pin female socket to the peripheral or extension point requiring the connection. Ensure both connectors are fully seated and secure any thumbscrews if present to prevent accidental disconnection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive tension, and areas with potential mechanical damage. For installations where EMI is a concern, position the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference and avoid running it in parallel with high-voltage power lines.

Recommendations

Use this cable for extending D-Sub connections when a direct pin-to-pin extension is required and the 5 m length meets your routing needs. For longer distances or environments with heavy electromagnetic interference, evaluate signal integrity and consider using shielded or line-driven interfaces if necessary.
