Serial cable DELOCK 84537, D-Sub 25 pin to D-Sub 25 pin, beige, 5 m

DELOCK 84537 is a 5 m beige serial cable with D-Sub 25 pin connectors on both ends, designed for RS-232 and legacy serial interfaces. The cable provides a full 25-pin connection suitable for direct links between devices that use the DB25 interface, such as older printers, modems and industrial control units. Its moderate length supports flexible routing in office and industrial setups while maintaining a straightforward wired serial connection.

Advantages

The cable offers a full 25-pin D-Sub connector on each end to preserve all signal lines used by DB25 serial devices. With a five-metre length and standard shielding, it supports convenient placement of connected equipment without relying on adapters or converters. The neutral beige jacket makes the cable suitable for mixed environments where discreet cabling is preferred, and the robust connector shells provide mechanical stability for repeated insertions.

Suitable for

• Connecting legacy RS-232 devices such as printers and modems
• Serial communication in office or factory environments where a fixed wired connection is required
• Replacing or extending existing DB25 serial cabling

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 metres
• Connector type: D-Sub 25-pin male/female (full 25-pin interface on both ends)
• Color: beige
• Signal standard: suitable for RS-232 serial communication
• Construction: shielded cable with metal connector shells for reliable signal integrity

How to use

Connect the D-Sub 25-pin ends to the corresponding DB25 ports on the two devices, ensuring correct orientation and that connector screws are secured to prevent accidental disconnection. Verify device settings for RS-232 parameters (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits, and flow control) as required by the connected equipment. For longer-term installations, route the cable away from high-power electrical lines and secure it with cable ties or clips to reduce strain on connector ends.

Usage recommendations

For stable serial communication, confirm both devices share compatible RS-232 signal levels and settings before operation. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power cables to reduce interference. When installing in industrial environments, check for adequate strain relief and secure connectors to protect against vibration and mechanical stress.
