DeLOCK 86908 Serial Cable Beige 0.5 m D-Sub 25 Pin

The DeLOCK 86908 Serial Cable Beige 0.5 m D-Sub 25 Pin is a short, shielded serial cable designed to provide a stable RS-232 connection between devices that use a 25-pin D-Sub interface. With a compact 0.5 m length and a neutral beige jacket, the cable is intended for point-to-point links where minimal cable run and tidy routing are required, for example in control cabinets, instrument panels or desktop serial ports.

Advantages

This D-Sub 25 pin cable offers reliable electrical contact and a compact length that reduces signal degradation and clutter. The beige outer jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for mixed equipment environments. The cable is constructed to support standard serial data transmission and to integrate easily with equipment that uses full-size 25-pin D-Sub connectors.

Suitable for

• Connecting legacy PCs, serial printers and modems with DB25 ports
• Linking industrial controllers, PLCs and instrumentation with RS-232 interfaces
• Short-distance serial communication inside control cabinets or test benches
• Repair, maintenance or replacement of existing D-Sub 25 cabling

Key specifications

• Connector type: D-Sub 25-pin (male/female as applicable)
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Cable colour: beige
• Intended interface: RS-232 serial communication
• Application: point-to-point serial data transfer

How to use

Connect the appropriate D-Sub 25-pin ends to the devices requiring a serial connection, ensuring correct orientation and secure screw fastening where provided. Use the 0.5 m length for short links to minimize exposed cable and reduce potential interference. Configure the serial port settings (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits, and flow control) on both devices to match before transferring data.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the cable run short and route it away from high-voltage power lines or large switching supplies. Confirm connector gender and pinout compatibility with your devices prior to installation. If extended distances or noise-prone environments are present, consider using line drivers or alternative interface converters appropriate to your system.
