Serial Cable ShiverPeaks BS78020-7 Grey 7 m DB-25

The ShiverPeaks BS78020-7 Grey 7 m DB-25 is a 7‑meter serial cable designed to provide reliable RS‑232 style connectivity between devices with DB‑25 ports. Its length allows flexible placement of connected equipment in offices, workshops or home environments while the grey jacket gives a neutral, professional appearance. The cable supports point‑to‑point data transmission for equipment such as legacy computers, industrial controllers, printers and measurement instruments that use a DB‑25 serial interface.

Advantages

The cable offers a long 7 m reach for greater installation flexibility without the need for additional extenders. Its DB‑25 connectors provide a standardized interface for devices that rely on multi‑pin serial connections. The construction aims for consistent electrical contact and stable signal transfer over typical serial communication distances. The neutral grey outer sheath reduces visual distraction and integrates easily into professional and domestic setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting legacy PCs, terminals and workstations to serial peripherals
• Linking industrial controllers, PLCs or measurement devices with DB‑25 ports
• Serial communication between printers, plotters and external modems
• Testing and service environments where a long DB‑25 cable is required

Key specifications

• Cable length: 7 meters
• Connector type: DB‑25 (female/male configuration depends on device requirements)
• Color: Grey outer jacket
• Application: Serial data transmission (compatible with RS‑232 style interfaces)
• Construction: Multi‑conductor shielded cable for improved signal integrity

How to use

Identify the DB‑25 ports on each device and align the connector pins carefully to avoid bending contacts. Secure the connectors using the built‑in fastening screws where available to ensure a stable mechanical and electrical connection. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends, excessive tension and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. If the connected devices require specific pin wiring (for example for hardware handshaking or signal mapping), verify the wiring scheme before operation and use adapters or null‑modem wiring as needed.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, keep the cable away from power lines and high‑frequency equipment, secure connections with the fastening screws, and inspect connectors periodically for corrosion or damage. When interfacing different types of equipment, confirm signal levels and pinouts to ensure compatibility.
