Seriële kabel DELOCK 86878 — D-Sub 37-polig naar D-Sub 37-polig, beige, 1 m

DELOCK 86878 is a 1 m beige serial cable with D-Sub 37-pin connectors on both ends, intended for direct wired connections between devices that use a 37-pin D-Sub interface. The cable provides reliable transmission of data and control signals for serial and parallel equipment where a fixed-length, shielded connection is required. Its classic D-Sub 37-pin footprint fits industrial controllers, legacy computer ports and specialised laboratory instruments that rely on this connector standard.

Advantages

The cable offers a simple, robust physical connection with standard male/female D-Sub 37-pin connectors that ensure compatibility with equipment using this interface. Its 1 m length is convenient for short-distance device-to-device cabling without excess slack. The neutral beige jacket allows unobtrusive integration into equipment racks and workstations. The fixed wired connection eliminates the need for intermediate adapters or converters when both devices share the same 37-pin D-Sub pinout.

Suitable for

• Industrial controllers and automation equipment with 37-pin D-Sub ports
• Legacy computers and peripherals that use D-Sub 37-pin interfaces
• Laboratory instruments and measurement devices requiring serial/parallel connections
• Embedded systems and development boards with 37-pin D-Sub connectors

Key specifications

• Connector type: D-Sub 37-pin to D-Sub 37-pin
• Cable length: 1 metre
• Cable colour: beige
• Contact arrangement: full 37-pin contact set
• Design: fixed wired serial/parallel connection for data and control signals

How to use

Match the D-Sub 37-pin connectors to the corresponding ports on both devices, ensuring correct orientation before insertion. Secure the connectors using the built-in thumbscrews or fastening hardware on the device ports to maintain a stable connection and prevent accidental disconnection. Use the 1 m length to route the cable without sharp bends or pinch points; avoid placing stress on the connector housings. For devices that require a specific pinout, verify compatibility of signal assignments before applying power or transmitting data.

Recommendations

Use the cable in environments within the equipment manufacturers' specified temperature and humidity ranges. For industrial or high-interference environments, keep cable runs short and avoid parallel routing alongside high-voltage power lines to reduce potential signal degradation. Inspect connectors for bent pins and clean contacts if necessary before connecting sensitive instrumentation.
