Serial Cable ShiverPeaks 9‑pin Sub‑D (DB9) 2.0 m, connector–connector

ShiverPeaks 9-pin Sub-D (DB9) serial cable, 2.0 m length, connector–connector designed for RS-232 and other compatible serial interfaces. The cable provides a fixed, shielded wired connection for data exchange between devices with DB9 ports. Built with a molded connector housing and strain reliefs, it is intended for reliable short- to medium-distance signal transfer in environments such as offices, workshops, server rooms and industrial control setups.

Advantages

The cable's 9-pin Sub-D contacts maintain consistent electrical contact for serial communication, while the shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and helps preserve signal integrity. Its 2.0 m length offers flexibility in device placement without excess slack. Molded connector ends and strain reliefs improve mechanical durability at connection points and simplify plug-in use. The cable is compatible with standard DB9 serial ports, enabling direct connections between modems, routers, industrial controllers and legacy computers.

Suitable for

• Connecting RS-232 devices such as modems and serial printers
• Linking industrial equipment and programmable logic controllers (PLCs)
• Establishing console or management connections to routers and switches
• Interfacing legacy PCs and measurement instruments with DB9 ports

Key specifications

• Connector type: 9-pin Sub-D (DB9) male-to-male connectors
• Cable length: 2.0 m
• Construction: molded connector housings with strain relief
• Shielding: overall shield to reduce EMI/RFI
• Protocol compatibility: RS-232 and other DB9-compatible serial protocols
• Typical use distance: short to medium range serial communications

How to use

Plug each DB9 connector into the corresponding serial port of the devices you want to connect, ensuring the connector thumbscrews are tightened to secure the connection. Confirm that both devices use compatible signal levels and pinouts for RS-232 or the target serial protocol before initiating communication. If required by the devices, configure port settings such as baud rate, parity, data bits and stop bits in the device software or firmware to match at both ends.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid routing the cable near high-voltage power lines or large motor assemblies; keep connections dry and protected from mechanical stress. Use the cable for point-to-point serial links within short to medium distances and replace it if connectors or shielding show wear. When connecting industrial equipment, verify grounding and common reference to prevent signal errors.
