Deltaco DEL-38F serial cable Beige 5 m Male

The Deltaco DEL-38F serial cable Beige 5 m Male is a 5-metre serial connection cable in beige designed for reliable point-to-point data transmission between devices that use serial communication. The cable features a male connector and a durable jacket intended for general-purpose use in office, industrial, and laboratory environments. Its length provides flexibility in arranging equipment while maintaining a stable physical connection for RS-232 or similar serial interfaces.

Advantages

This serial cable provides consistent signal transmission over a 5 m distance, reducing the need for close device placement. The beige outer jacket offers a neutral appearance that integrates with existing cabling and equipment. The cable construction focuses on electrical continuity and mechanical durability to support regular connection and disconnection cycles. Its straightforward design ensures compatibility with a wide range of serial devices that accept male serial connectors.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to serial peripherals such as modems, printers, and terminals
• Linking industrial controllers, PLCs, and field instruments for configuration and data exchange
• Serial communication between laboratory instruments and data loggers
• On-site equipment setup where a 5 m cable run is required

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 metres
• Connector type: male serial connector
• Color: beige outer jacket
• Application: serial data transmission (RS-232 and similar protocols)
• Construction: shielded/unshielded designs suitable for preventing interference (specific shielding depends on factory configuration)

How to use

Connect the male serial connector to the corresponding female serial port on the device. Ensure both devices are powered off or that ports are configured for hot-plugging according to manufacturer instructions before connecting. After physical connection, configure serial communication parameters (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits and flow control) on both devices to match. Verify successful communication via device indicators or terminal software and secure the cable routing to avoid mechanical strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the serial cable parallel to high-voltage power lines or large-bore AC cables to reduce electromagnetic interference. Use proper strain relief at connector ends and avoid sharp bends with radii smaller than the cable diameter. If the installation environment has significant electrical noise or requires longer runs, consider using signal repeaters or cables with enhanced shielding and verify compatibility with your devices' serial interface specifications.
