DELTACO DEL-38H Serial Cable Grey 15 m DB-9

The DELTACO DEL-38H Serial Cable Grey 15 m DB-9 is designed for stable and reliable data transmission across extended distances in professional and home environments. With a generous length of 15 meters, this serial cable allows flexible placement of legacy equipment, peripherals, and computing devices without compromising signal integrity.

Advantages

Constructed with durability in mind, this grey serial cable features nickel-plated connector contacts to ensure consistent electrical connectivity and resistance to everyday wear. The substantial 15-meter reach eliminates the need for additional signal repeaters or extension adapters in most standard setups, providing a straightforward and dependable physical link between compatible hardware.

Suitable for

• Connecting legacy computers to serial printers or plotters
• Extending serial communication lines in industrial or office environments
• Linking specialized laboratory or measuring instruments to a host PC
• Setting up point-of-sale terminals and peripheral hardware

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not designed for modern high-speed consumer data transfers such as USB or HDMI applications, nor is it compatible with devices that lack a standard DB-9 interface. For short-distance connections where a 15-meter length is excessive, a shorter cable may be more practical to manage cable clutter.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 15 m
• Connector type: DB-9 Male to DB-9 Female
• Connector contact plating: Nickel
• Product colour: Grey
• Packaging quantity: 1 pc

How to use

Ensure that both connected devices are powered off before plugging in the cable to prevent potential hardware damage from electrical surges. Align the DB-9 connectors carefully with the corresponding serial ports on your equipment, push them firmly into place, and secure the connection using the integrated thumbscrews if applicable. Once securely attached, power on your devices and verify the communication link through your operating system or device settings.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your devices feature standard DB-9 serial ports before ordering
• Measure the required physical distance between your devices to ensure the 15-meter length is appropriate
• Check if your equipment requires a straight-through or null-modem pinout configuration

Usage recommendations: Route the cable safely along walls or through cable channels to prevent tripping hazards and avoid excessive bending or pinching that could damage the internal wiring over time.
