Sub-D cable ShiverPeaks CO 78042-2, 1.8 m, 2×9‑pin (female/male)

The ShiverPeaks CO 78042-2 is a 1.8 m Sub-D cable with two 9‑pin connectors (female to male) designed for devices and peripherals that use D‑sub interfaces. This shielded cable provides a fixed-length, direct connection between equipment with 9‑pin Sub‑D ports and is intended for reliable serial and peripheral signal transmission in industrial setups, measurement systems, and legacy computer interfaces.

Advantages

The cable features a standard 2×9‑pin Sub‑D connector configuration for compatibility with a wide range of equipment. Its shielded design reduces electromagnetic interference for more stable signal transfer, and the 1.8 m length offers a balance between reach and manageable cable routing. Constructed for straightforward plug‑and‑play use, the cable is suitable where a simple, fixed-length D‑sub connection is required.

Suitable for

• Connecting industrial controllers, measurement instruments, and test equipment with 9‑pin Sub‑D ports
• Serial communications and RS‑232 or similar legacy interfaces
• Peripheral connections requiring a female‑to‑male 9‑pin D‑sub link
• Replacing or extending existing fixed-length D‑sub cabling in installations

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1.8 m
• Connector configuration: 2×9‑pin Sub‑D (female to male)
• Shielding: overall shield for EMI reduction
• Contact type: 9‑pin D‑sub contacts for serial/peripheral signals
• Typical applications: serial data, peripheral interfaces, instrument connections

How to use

Connect the female 9‑pin connector to the device or cable with a matching male port and the male 9‑pin connector to the corresponding female port on the host or peripheral. Ensure connectors are aligned and seated firmly, hand‑tightening any thumbscrews or fastening hardware if present to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong interference, and verify signal integrity with the communicating devices' diagnostics or serial communication software.

Recommendations

Use the cable in environments appropriate for shielded D‑sub connections, keep cable runs as short as practical to maintain signal quality, and avoid routing alongside high‑power cables. For installations in demanding industrial environments, inspect connectors for corrosion or damage and replace the cable if shielding or contacts are compromised.
