DELOCK 84538 is a 10 m beige serial cable with D-Sub 25‑pin connectors on both ends, designed to provide a stable wired connection between devices that use 25‑pin D‑Sub serial ports. The cable supports standard serial communications and is intended for applications where a long, reliable RS‑232 style link is required, such as connecting legacy computers, industrial controllers and measurement equipment.
Advantages
The cable offers a full 25‑pin D‑Sub interface on each end, preserving all signal lines used by multi‑pin serial and control protocols. Its 10 m length enables flexible device placement without the need for intermediary extenders, and the beige jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for office, workshop and industrial environments. The connector housings are compatible with standard 25‑pin D‑Sub sockets, allowing plug-and-play installation with equipment that follows the D‑Sub mechanical standard.
Suitable for
- Connecting legacy PCs and laptops to external serial peripherals
- Linking industrial equipment such as PLCs and HMIs with 25‑pin serial ports
- Serial communication and configuration of measurement and laboratory devices
- Use in control cabinets and workshop setups where longer cable runs are needed
Key specifications
- Cable length: 10 m
- Connector type (each end): D‑Sub 25‑pin (male/female configuration dependent on product)
- Cable jacket colour: beige
- Intended interface: 25‑pin serial (RS‑232 style multi‑pin connections)
How to use
Ensure both devices have compatible 25‑pin D‑Sub ports and power is switched off before connecting. Align the D‑Sub connectors with the device ports and fasten any screws or thumbscrews to secure the connection. After connecting, power on the devices and configure serial communication parameters (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits) as required by the equipment and application. If communication is intermittent, verify pinout compatibility and that any required null‑modem or straight‑through wiring is in place.
Usage recommendations
Install the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as large motors or high‑frequency switching power supplies. For installations within control cabinets, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; secure connectors with their screws to prevent accidental disconnection. Verify the required pinout for your devices before use to ensure correct signalling and reliable serial communication.
