Serial Cable ShiverPeaks BS78047-2 Grey 1.8 m SUB-D

The ShiverPeaks BS78047-2 Grey 1.8 m SUB-D serial cable is a durable connection lead designed for reliable data transmission between devices that use SUB-D interfaces. Finished in a neutral grey jacket and measuring 1.8 meters in length, the cable provides sufficient reach for desktop setups, rack installations, and equipment connections where a compact, flexible serial link is required.

Advantages

This serial cable combines a molded SUB-D connector with a flexible yet robust outer jacket to resist everyday wear and maintain signal integrity over repeated use. The 1.8 m length balances reach and cable management, reducing excess slack while allowing comfortable device placement. The neutral grey color integrates unobtrusively into professional and home environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, routers or switches to serial consoles
• Linking industrial controllers, CNC machines or measurement equipment with SUB-D ports
• Programming and configuring network hardware or embedded devices
• Laboratory and workshop setups requiring a reliable serial link

Key specifications

• Cable type: serial cable with SUB-D connector
• Length: 1.8 m
• Color: grey
• Construction: molded connector ends with strain relief
• Typical use: data transmission over RS-232/serial-compatible interfaces

How to use

Connect the SUB-D connector securely to the device’s serial port, ensuring proper alignment of the pins. Tighten any fastening screws or clips if present to prevent accidental disconnection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of electrical interference; if used in a rack or cabinet, secure the cable with ties or routing clips to reduce strain on connectors. When disconnecting, support the connector body and loosen any screws before pulling to avoid damaging the cable or port.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid running the serial cable parallel to power lines or high-voltage cables; keep contact with liquids and extreme temperatures to a minimum. Periodically inspect connector ends and strain relief areas for wear. Use the 1.8 m length to position devices for easy access while maintaining tidy cable management.
