Serial Cable EFB Elektronik EK165.10 Beige 10 m D-Sub 25

The EFB Elektronik EK165.10 Beige 10 m D-Sub 25 serial cable provides a reliable wired connection for devices that use a 25-pin D-Sub interface. With a 10-metre length and neutral beige jacket, the cable is designed to link equipment across workbenches, racks or offices while maintaining consistent signal transmission for serial communication. The construction focuses on stable data transfer and practical handling in professional and industrial environments.

Advantages

This serial cable offers a fixed-length solution for extended-distance connections without additional adapters. The beige outer jacket provides a discreet appearance that fits into mixed equipment setups. The D-Sub 25 connector ensures broad compatibility with legacy and industrial devices that rely on a 25-pin serial interface. The cable's design emphasises dependable signal continuity suitable for control systems, measurement instruments and data terminals.

Suitable for

• Connecting industrial controllers and PLCs with D-Sub 25 ports
• Linking laboratory instruments and measurement devices for data logging
• Serial communication between PCs, terminals and legacy equipment
• Workstation or rack setups where a 10 m cable run is required

Key specifications

• Cable length: 10 m
• Connector type: 25-pin D-Sub (female/male depending on device orientation)
• Outer colour: beige
• Signal type: RS-232/serial-compatible wiring
• Construction: shielded multi-conductor cable suitable for data transmission

How to use

Identify the D-Sub 25 port on each device and connect the corresponding ends of the serial cable, ensuring screws or thumbscrews are tightened to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. After connecting, configure the serial parameters (baud rate, parity, stop bits and flow control) on both devices to match communication requirements. For longer installations, support the cable along its length to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use the cable in environments where RS-232 or compatible serial communication is required and avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimise interference. If used in industrial areas, consider additional cable management and protective conduits to prolong service life.
