Serial Cable RS-232 DeLOCK 87308 0.5m Female to Female

The DeLOCK Serial Cable RS-232 87308 is a 0.5 m female-to-female null modem cable designed for direct connection of RS-232 devices. It supports full handshake control with RTS/CTS and DTR/DSR lines and allows optional device power via the RI line. The connector housings are compact to permit adjacent RS-232 connections.

Advantages

This cable provides full data flow control (RTS/CTS, DTR/DSR) for reliable serial communication and a null modem wiring that enables direct device-to-device links without a modem. The narrow Mini D-Sub 9 connector housing reduces space requirements on multi-port panels. The 0.5 m length and 5 mm cable diameter make it suitable for short-distance connections with minimal cable bulk.

Suitable for

• Connecting two RS-232 serial devices directly (null modem)
• Industrial equipment and legacy computer serial ports
• POS terminals, instrumentation, and embedded systems
• Environments where adjacent D-Sub 9 ports require compact connectors

Key specifications

• Connector type: D-Sub 9 (female) to D-Sub 9 (female)
• Wiring: Full handshake null modem (RTS/CTS, DTR/DSR)
• Optional power via RI line
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Cable diameter: 5 mm
• Manufacturer: DELOCK, MPN: 87308, EAN: 4043619873081

How to use

Connect each female D-Sub 9 connector to the corresponding male RS-232 port on the devices to be linked. The null modem wiring handles the necessary transmit/receive and handshake signal crossing, so no additional adapters are required. If device power via the RI line is needed, verify that the connected equipment supports power sourcing and consumption over RI before use.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short, direct RS-232 connections where full hardware handshaking is required and when compact connector housings are needed to fit multiple ports closely together.
