Serial Cable DeLOCK 86907 Beige 0.5m D-Sub 25 Pin

The DeLOCK 86907 serial cable is a 0.5 m D-Sub 25 pin cable designed to connect devices with standard 25-pin serial ports. Its beige jacket offers a neutral appearance suitable for office, lab, or home environments while providing a compact, short-length connection to reduce cable clutter. The cable is intended for serial communication where a reliable physical connection is needed for data transfer between computers, peripherals, industrial equipment or legacy hardware.

Advantages

This D-Sub 25 pin cable provides a straightforward wired connection that supports stable serial data transmission over short distances. The 0.5 metre length minimizes excess cable while maintaining sufficient reach for desktop and equipment rack setups. The cable jacket and connector construction are designed for repeated mating cycles and everyday handling, ensuring consistent contact and long service life. The neutral beige color allows the cable to blend into typical office and equipment-room color schemes.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs or industrial controllers to serial peripherals
• Linking printers, modems, or legacy hardware with 25-pin serial ports
• Short-distance connections inside equipment racks or between adjacent devices
• Maintenance, testing, and configuration tasks requiring a standard D-Sub 25 interface

Key specifications

• Connector type: D-Sub 25 pin (male/female configuration as required for the application)
• Cable length: 0.5 metres
• Cable color: beige
• Cable purpose: RS-232/serial data communication over a single D-Sub 25 interface
• Construction: shielded multi-conductor cable with molded or screw-type D-Sub housings for secure connections

How to use

Identify the correct orientation of the D-Sub 25 connectors on the devices to be connected and align the connector pins carefully before inserting. If the cable uses screw-type housings, hand-tighten the thumbscrews to secure the connection and prevent accidental disconnection. For devices that require specific pin assignments, verify wiring compatibility or use a null-modem adapter if a crossover is needed. After connecting, power on devices and configure serial communication parameters (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits) in the device or terminal software as required.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short, direct serial links and avoid routing it near high-voltage lines or strong electromagnetic sources to reduce interference. When installing in racks or cabinets, secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors and avoid tight bends with a radius smaller than the cable diameter. For long-term reliability, inspect connectors periodically for bent pins and ensure thumbscrews remain snug.
