Serial Cable DeLOCK 86607 Black 5 m RS-232 Sub-D9

The DeLOCK 86607 Black 5 m RS-232 Sub-D9 serial cable is a 5-meter connection cable designed for reliable serial data transfer between RS-232 compatible devices. The cable features Sub-D9 (DE-9) connectors and a black outer jacket, offering straightforward connectivity for legacy equipment, industrial controllers, point-of-sale devices, modems, and other hardware that use the RS-232 communication standard.

Advantages

This serial cable provides stable data transmission over a 5 m length with a robust outer jacket that resists wear in typical office and light industrial environments. The standardized Sub-D9 connectors ensure broad compatibility with many serial ports and require no additional configuration for basic point-to-point communication. The cable's construction focuses on continuity and signal integrity to reduce data errors during transfers.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers and legacy workstations to serial peripherals
• Linking printers, barcode scanners, and POS terminals that use RS-232
• Establishing connections to industrial controllers and instrumentation with DE-9 ports
• Connecting modems and serial communication equipment for diagnostics and configuration

Key specifications

• Cable type: RS-232 serial cable with Sub-D9 (DE-9) connectors
• Length: 5 meters
• Color: Black outer jacket
• Connector gender: standard DE-9 male/female based on device pairing (Sub-D9)
• Usage: point-to-point serial communication for data transfer and device control

How to use

Connect the Sub-D9 connectors to the corresponding RS-232 ports on each device, ensuring connector orientation matches the port. Tighten any fastening screws if present to secure the connection and prevent accidental disconnection. After connecting, configure serial communication parameters (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits, and flow control) in the devices or software to match each other for successful communication. For many plug-and-play use cases, basic settings on modern equipment may auto-negotiate or default to common values.

Recommendations

Route the cable away from high-voltage sources and heavy machinery to minimize electrical interference. Avoid sharp bends and repeated stress at connector ends to preserve the cable's lifespan. For installations in harsher industrial environments, consider additional cable protection such as conduit or cable trays and verify signal integrity at the required communication speed over the 5 m length.
