Serial cable DELOCK 83678, D-Sub 25-pin to D-Sub 25-pin, beige, 10 m

DELOCK 83678 is a 10 m beige serial cable with D-Sub 25-pin connectors on both ends, designed for RS-232 style point-to-point connections between devices that use a full 25-pin D-Sub interface. The cable provides a continuous wired link suited to legacy peripherals, industrial controllers, serial consoles and instrumentation that require the full set of 25-pin signals. Its 10 metre length allows flexible placement of equipment in workshops, server rooms or production environments while preserving signal routing integrity.

Advantages

The cable uses standard 25-pin D-Sub connectors on both ends to maintain compatibility with equipment featuring DB25 serial ports. Its fixed, single-cable construction avoids the need for adapters or intermediate converters when connecting two DB25-equipped devices. The neutral beige jacket offers unobtrusive installation in mixed cable environments and the longer length supports spatial separation of devices without relying on extenders.

Suitable for

• Connecting legacy PCs, terminals or printers with DB25 serial ports
• Linking industrial controllers, PLCs and instrumentation that use 25-pin RS-232 interfaces
• Serial console access for network or server equipment with DB25 serial connectors
• Laboratory and test setups requiring a full 25-pin serial wiring

Key specifications

• Cable length: 10 m
• Connector type: D-Sub 25-pin (male/male or female/female as required by device ports)
• Colour: beige
• Interface standard: RS-232 compatible 25-pin wiring
• Application: point-to-point serial data and control signal transmission

How to use

Identify the DB25 serial ports on both devices and ensure the connector genders match the equipment ports. Align the D-Sub connectors with the port openings and fasten the securing screws by hand until snug to maintain a reliable mechanical and electrical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive tension or proximity to strong electromagnetic sources. After connection, verify serial communication settings (baud rate, parity, stop bits and handshake) on both devices to match the expected RS-232 configuration.

Recommendations

For stable data transmission, keep the cable run away from high-voltage power lines and large motors to reduce interference. If used in industrial environments, secure the cable with clips or cable ties at intervals to prevent strain on the connectors. For installations longer than 10 m or where signal integrity is critical, consider shielded or signal-boosting solutions and verify compatibility with the target device's serial pinout.
