The ShiverPeaks 9-pin Sub-D cable, 3.0 m length, is a serial connection cable designed for devices with DE-9 (9-pin Sub-D) ports. It provides a standard RS-232 style interface for data transmission and signal grounding, enabling reliable point-to-point connections between industrial equipment, legacy computers, modems, routers and measurement instruments that use a 9-pin serial link. The cable’s 3.0 m length balances reach and manageability for rack, bench and field installations.
Advantages
This 9-pin Sub-D cable offers a straightforward physical interface for serial communications, with a focus on compatibility and ease of use. The wired DE-9 connectors ensure consistent electrical contact for data and control signals, while the 3.0 m length reduces the need for extenders or intermediate adapters. The cable is suitable for environments where a conventional RS-232 connection is required and where a durable, pre-assembled solution simplifies setup and maintenance.
Suitable for
- Connecting industrial controllers, PLCs and measurement instruments
- Linking legacy PCs, serial terminals and thin clients
- Connecting external modems, routers and serial network devices
- Point-to-point serial communication for configuration and diagnostics
Key specifications
- Connector type: DE-9 (9-pin Sub-D) plug to DE-9 (9-pin Sub-D) socket - serial connection
- Cable length: 3.0 m
- Conductor arrangement: multi-core signal cable suitable for RS-232 pinouts
- Signal support: standard RS-232 serial signals including data, control and ground lines
- Construction: pre-assembled, ready-to-use cable with molded connectors for reliable contact
How to use
Connect the DE-9 plug to the serial port of the source device and the DE-9 socket to the target device, ensuring secure engagement of the connector screws or retention mechanism. Verify pinout compatibility between devices (for example DTE vs DCE) and use the appropriate wiring orientation for the required RS-232 signals. After connection, configure serial port parameters such as baud rate, parity, data bits and stop bits on both devices to match communication settings. If communication issues occur, check connector seating, cable integrity and device serial settings.
Usage recommendations
For reliable operation, avoid tight bending or kinking of the cable and keep it away from high-voltage power lines or strong electromagnetic sources. When using in industrial environments, route the cable to minimize mechanical wear and consider additional shielding or ferrite cores if excessive interference is present. Confirm device pinouts before connecting to prevent signal inversion or unintended control line activation.
