DeLOCK 86605 Serial Cable Black 2m RS-232 Sub-D9

The DeLOCK 86605 is a 2 meter serial cable with RS-232 Sub-D9 connectors on both ends, designed for reliable point-to-point data transmission between devices that use the RS-232 standard. The cable's black jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for office or industrial environments, while the 2 m length offers flexibility in placement without excessive slack. This cable supports common serial communications such as modem links, instrument control, console connections and legacy peripheral interfaces.

Advantages

The cable delivers a straightforward wired connection that requires no additional drivers or configuration when used with devices that expose standard RS-232 serial ports. Its molded connectors ensure consistent pin alignment and contact pressure for stable signal transfer, and the insulated outer sheath protects conductors from mechanical wear and everyday handling. The Sub-D9 form factor is compatible with a wide range of equipment and minimizes the need for adapters when connecting to typical serial ports.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to serial printers, barcode scanners and cash registers
• Linking routers, switches or modems for console management
• Interfacing with industrial controllers, PLCs and laboratory instruments
• Establishing point-to-point data links for legacy hardware and embedded systems

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 m
• Connector type: RS-232 Sub-D9 (9-pin D-sub) on both ends
• Color: black
• Conductor arrangement: multi-core shielded cable suitable for serial signals
• Typical use: point-to-point serial communication (RS-232 standard)

How to use

Connect each Sub-D9 connector to the corresponding serial port on the two devices you intend to link. Ensure the connectors are aligned and fully seated before tightening any fastening screws to secure the connection. Configure the devices for the same serial parameters (baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits and flow control) within their communication settings to establish a stable session. For console access or direct device control, open a terminal application on the host system and select the appropriate serial port and settings.

Recommendations

Place the cable away from high-voltage power lines and strong electromagnetic sources to reduce interference. For installations in harsh industrial environments, consider routing the cable through protective conduits and avoid sharp bends or crushing points to maintain signal integrity over time.
