Serial cable DELOCK 86885 — D-Sub 37-pin beige, 5 m length

DELOCK 86885 is a 5 m beige serial cable with a D-Sub 37-pin connector designed for RS-232 and related serial interfaces. The cable provides a fixed-length connection between devices that require a 37-pin D-Sub plug, commonly found in industrial equipment, measurement instruments and legacy peripherals. Its neutral colour and standard connector make it suitable for installations where a durable, straightforward wired serial link is needed.

Advantages

The cable offers a standardized D-Sub 37-pin interface that ensures compatibility with equipment using the same connector format. With a 5 m length it balances reach and signal consistency for point-to-point connections without intermediate adapters. The robust construction and strain-relieved connector shells reduce mechanical wear at connection points, while the beige jacket provides unobtrusive appearance in mixed-equipment environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting RS-232 or serial devices with a D-Sub 37-pin interface
• Industrial controllers and PLCs requiring a 37-pin connection
• Measurement instruments and laboratory equipment with D-Sub 37 connectors
• Legacy peripherals and systems that use a 37-pin serial port

Key specifications

• Connector type: D-Sub 37-pin (male/female depending on device pairing)
• Length: 5 metres
• Colour: beige
• Interface standard: RS-232 / serial communication
• Cable construction: multi-conductor shielded cable with molded connector shells

How to use

Connect the D-Sub 37-pin plug to the corresponding 37-pin serial port on your device, ensuring correct orientation and secure fastening of the connector screws if present. Route the 5 m cable to the receiving device avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. If required, verify signal continuity and pin mapping against the equipment documentation before powering on connected devices to prevent configuration errors.

Recommendations

Use this cable for direct device-to-device serial connections where a fixed 5 m length and a 37-pin D-Sub interface are appropriate. For installations near high-voltage equipment or strong RF sources, keep separation or add additional shielding. Inspect connector shells and cable jacket periodically for wear and replace if outer insulation is damaged.
