Serial Cable Deltaco DEL-38 White 3 m

The Deltaco DEL-38 White 3 m serial cable is a 3-metre connection lead designed for reliable point-to-point serial data transmission between devices with RS‑232 compatible ports. Its single male-to-male connector configuration and white jacket make it suitable for visible installations where a neat appearance is desired. The cable provides a straightforward physical link for legacy equipment, industrial controllers, POS systems, modems and other appliances that use standard serial interfaces.

Advantages

The cable’s 3 m length offers flexibility for device placement without excessive slack. A neutral white outer jacket helps the cable blend into office, retail or residential environments. The DEL-38 is built to provide a stable, low-noise connection for asynchronous serial communication and reduces the need for adapters when connecting directly between compatible male serial ports. Its simple construction supports easy handling and routing in cable channels or on workbenches.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting computers to serial peripherals such as modems, serial printers and barcode scanners
• Linking industrial controllers, PLCs and measurement instruments for configuration or data exchange
• Use in point-of-sale systems and kiosk installations with visible cable runs
• Temporary or semi-permanent setups in labs, workshops and test benches

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 m
• Connector type: male serial connectors on both ends (suitable for standard DB9/RS‑232 ports)
• Product colour: White
• Signal type: serial (RS‑232 compatible)
• Construction: single cable jacket suitable for indoor use

How to use

Identify the devices to be connected and confirm they have compatible serial male ports. Route the 3 m cable between the devices, avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Insert the male connectors firmly into the serial ports and secure any fastening screws if present to ensure a stable mechanical and electrical connection. After connection, configure the communication parameters (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits and flow control) on both devices to match and verify data transfer using the relevant software or terminal utility.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable indoors and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, excessive heat or mechanical strain. Keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines and large motors to reduce the risk of interference. If longer runs or shielded connections are required for noisy industrial environments, consider specifying a shielded or professionally terminated serial cable suited to that application.
