shiverpeaks BS14-12045 serial cable White 0.2 m USB Type-A Mini-DIN 8-pin

The shiverpeaks BS14-12045 serial cable is a compact 0.2 m connection solution combining a USB Type-A plug with an 8-pin Mini‑DIN connector. Designed for data transfer and device connectivity, this white cable has a slim 3 mm diameter and a short length that makes it suitable for tidy setups where close-proximity connections are needed. The cable supports standard serial-interface signaling through the Mini‑DIN end while fitting common host ports via the USB Type‑A plug.

Advantages

This cable provides a short, low-profile link between USB Type‑A hosts and devices that use an 8‑pin Mini‑DIN serial interface, reducing tabletop clutter and cable strain. Its 3 mm diameter and flexible jacket allow for neat routing in confined spaces. The neutral white finish integrates with light-coloured equipment and helps maintain a consistent appearance in professional and home environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting devices with 8-pin Mini‑DIN serial ports to USB Type‑A hosts
• Short-range data transfer where a compact cable is preferred
• Workspaces and setups requiring minimal cable slack and tidy routing
• Home electronics, small industrial controllers, and legacy equipment that use Mini‑DIN serial connections

Key specifications

• Connector 1: USB Type‑A (male)
• Connector 2: Mini‑DIN 8‑pin (male)
• Cable length: 0.2 m
• Product colour: White
• Cable diameter: 3 mm

How to use

Locate the USB Type‑A port on the host device and insert the USB Type‑A plug firmly until it seats. Align the 8‑pin Mini‑DIN connector with the mating port on the peripheral and insert carefully to avoid bending pins. For reliable communication, ensure both connected devices are powered and configured to use the appropriate serial settings. Use the short length to keep the connection tidy and avoid excessive bending near connector ends.

Recommendations

For best results, keep the cable free from tight kinks and avoid repeated sharp bends at the connectors. Use the cable for short-range connections only; if a longer reach is required, select a longer cable to avoid tension. When connecting older equipment, verify pinout and serial settings to ensure compatibility.
