Serial Cable DeLOCK 86599 Black 10 m RS-232 Sub-D9

The DeLOCK 86599 Black 10 m RS-232 Sub-D9 serial cable is a 10-metre lead designed for connecting devices with standard RS-232 interfaces. The cable uses Sub-D9 connectors on each end and is finished in black. It is intended to provide stable serial communication over extended distances and to withstand regular handling in professional environments.

Advantages

The cable provides straightforward, point-to-point serial connectivity with durable Sub-D9 connectors engineered for secure mating. With a 10 m length, it enables flexible placement of equipment while maintaining signal integrity appropriate for RS-232 communication. Its construction is focused on reliable data transfer and extended mechanical life under repeated connection cycles.

Suitable for

• Connecting industrial controllers, PLCs and instrumentation to computers or terminals
• Linking legacy serial peripherals such as barcode scanners, receipt printers or laboratory equipment
• Establishing serial console connections to network devices, routers or switches for configuration and diagnostics
• Use in workshop, laboratory or office environments where a longer RS-232 cable run is required

Key specifications

• Cable type: RS-232 serial cable with Sub-D9 (9-pin) connectors
• Length: 10 metres
• Colour: black
• Connector gender: standard male/female Sub-D9 options on each end as required for direct serial connection
• Conductor construction: multi-core insulated conductors suitable for low-speed serial signalling
• Shielding: overall shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal quality

How to use

Connect the Sub-D9 connectors to the corresponding RS-232 ports on each device, ensuring the connector orientation matches the port. Tighten any fastening screws to secure the connection and prevent accidental disconnection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, pinch points and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Verify communication parameters on both devices (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits) and test the link using terminal software or device diagnostics to confirm data exchange.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines and large motors. If used in electrically noisy environments, check connector seating and consider additional grounding or ferrite cores. Inspect connectors periodically for bent pins or wear, and replace the cable if shielding or insulation is damaged.
