Sarjakaapeli DELOCK 84172 D-Sub 25 pin D-Sub 25 pin, beige, 1 m

DELOCK 84172 is a 1 m beige serial cable with D-Sub 25 Pin connectors on both ends, designed for RS-232/serial communication. It provides a direct male-to-male 25-pin D-Sub link that carries the typical serial data and control lines needed to connect industrial equipment, legacy PCs, routers, or measurement instruments that use a 25-pin serial interface.

Advantages

The cable offers a compact and straightforward connection solution for devices requiring a full 25-pin D-Sub interface. Its 1 m length balances reach and signal integrity for short cross-connections, while the standardized D-Sub 25 connectors ensure mechanical compatibility with existing 25-pin ports. The neutral beige jacket supports unobtrusive installation in environments where visual consistency matters.

Suitable for

• Connecting industrial controllers, CNC machines or PLCs with 25-pin serial ports
• Linking legacy desktop PCs or servers to RS-232 peripheral equipment
• Establishing a serial console connection to routers, switches or network devices with 25-pin D-Sub interfaces
• Connecting laboratory and measurement instruments that use a 25-pin serial interface

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended for standard RS-232/serial signalling and mechanical pinouts of 25-pin D-Sub connectors. It may not be suitable for applications that require shielded high-speed differential pairs, specialized proprietary pin mappings, or cable lengths significantly longer than 1 m where signal degradation or timing issues can occur. It is not a USB, Ethernet, or other protocol adapter and will not convert between different electrical standards.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 m
• Connector type: D-Sub 25 pin (male) to D-Sub 25 pin (male)
• Colour: beige
• Intended interface: RS-232/serial
• Conductor arrangement: supports standard 25-pin serial data and control lines

How to use

Inspect the D-Sub connectors for any visible damage before use. Align the 25-pin male connectors with the corresponding female port on each device and insert straight without forcing; secure with the connector screws where available to ensure a reliable mechanical connection. Use the cable for data communications between devices configured for RS-232 signalling and matching pinouts. If communication issues occur, verify device settings (baud rate, parity, stop bits, flow control) and inspect the cable and connectors for bent pins.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that both devices use a 25-pin D-Sub RS-232 interface and require a male-to-male connection
• Check that 1 m length is sufficient for your installation and routing needs
• Verify pinout compatibility if devices use non-standard or proprietary wiring
• Ensure RS-232 electrical levels are acceptable for the devices to be connected

Recommendations

For reliable serial communication, keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference and secure connector screws to prevent accidental disconnection. Test communication settings and pinout mapping before permanent installation.
