Serial cable DELOCK 86881, D‑Sub 37‑pin to D‑Sub 37‑pin, beige, 5 m

DELOCK 86881 is a 5 m beige serial cable with 37‑pin D‑Sub connectors on both ends, designed to provide a fixed wired link for devices that use the 37‑pin D‑Sub interface. The cable supports point‑to‑point data transmission between compatible equipment and is intended for applications that require the classic D‑Sub 37 connection, such as industrial controllers, legacy computer interfaces, and certain printers or peripheral devices.

Advantages

The cable offers a standardized 37‑pin D‑Sub connection on both ends, ensuring mechanical compatibility and straightforward installation. With a 5 metre length it allows flexible placement of connected devices while maintaining a reliable physical connection for serial or parallel signalling. The beige jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for many environments, and the fixed‑length wired design avoids configuration or pairing steps required by wireless alternatives.

Suitable for

• Connecting industrial controllers and measurement equipment with D‑Sub 37 interfaces
• Linking legacy computer ports and expansion cards that use 37‑pin D‑Sub
• Connecting printers or peripheral devices that require a 37‑pin D‑Sub cable
• Establishing point‑to‑point wired communication in test benches and laboratory setups

Key specifications

• Connector type: D‑Sub 37‑pin male/female on both ends (37 contacts)
• Cable length: 5 m
• Cable colour: beige
• Connection type: fixed wired serial/parallel link for devices using 37‑pin D‑Sub interface
• Use environment: suitable for industrial and office applications where 37‑pin D‑Sub is required

How to use

Identify the 37‑pin D‑Sub connectors on both devices and align the cable connectors with the corresponding ports. Insert each connector and secure the fastening screws to ensure a stable mechanical and electrical connection. Once connected, configure device communication parameters (baud rate, parity, handshaking) on the connected equipment as required by the specific application. For safe operation, route the cable to avoid sharp bends, pinch points, and sources of electrical interference.

Recommendations

Use the cable for direct point‑to‑point connections between compatible 37‑pin D‑Sub devices. Avoid excessive bending near the connector ends and protect the cable from heavy loads or crushing. For installations in electrically noisy environments, maintain separation from high‑voltage power lines and consider additional shielding measures on connected equipment if data integrity issues occur.
