Seriële kabel DELOCK 86880, D-Sub 37-polig naar D-Sub, beige, 3 m

DELOCK 86880 is a 3 m serial cable with 37‑pin D‑Sub connectors on both ends, presented in a beige jacket. It is intended for RS‑232 and parallel serial applications that require a DB‑37 interface, providing a fixed‑length wired connection for data transfer between devices that support a 37‑pin D‑Sub port. The cable construction accommodates point‑to‑point communication in industrial systems, legacy computer peripherals, and other equipment using the same connector standard.

Advantages

The cable offers a standard 37‑pin D‑Sub connector on each end for direct mating with compatible ports, eliminating the need for adapters when equipment uses the same connector type. With a 3 metre length, it balances reach and cable management for rack, bench, or factory installations. The beige outer jacket provides a neutral appearance that blends with many environments while offering basic mechanical protection for the internal conductors.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting industrial controllers, PLCs, or instrumentation with 37‑pin D‑Sub ports
• Linking legacy printers, terminals, or peripheral devices that use DB‑37 serial interfaces
• Wiring point‑to‑point RS‑232 or parallel serial links in test benches and service areas
• Replacing or extending existing fixed‑length serial cabling in equipment racks

Key specifications

• Connector type: 37‑pin male/female D‑Sub (DB‑37) on both ends
• Cable length: 3.0 metres
• Colour: beige outer jacket
• Interface support: RS‑232 and parallel serial connections using a 37‑pin D‑Sub
• Construction: fixed‑length shielded/unshielded multi‑conductor cable suitable for serial signalling (check device requirements for shielding)

How to use

Identify the 37‑pin D‑Sub ports on the devices to be connected and ensure both endpoints use the same pinout and signalling standard (for example RS‑232 or a parallel serial protocol). Align the D‑Sub connector carefully with the port and tighten any captive screws or thumbscrews to secure the connection. Route the 3 m cable to avoid sharp bends, heat sources, and high‑interference power cables. If the application requires specific pin wiring or null‑modem configuration, verify pin assignments before powering the equipment.

Recommendations

Inspect connectors for damage before use and avoid excessive mechanical stress on the cable. For installations sensitive to electromagnetic interference, verify whether a shielded cable version is required and maintain separation from high‑voltage or high‑current lines. When troubleshooting communication issues, confirm pinout compatibility, signal levels, and grounding between connected devices.
