DeLOCK 86608 Serial Cable Black 1m RS-232 Sub-D9

The DeLOCK 86608 is a 1 meter RS-232 Sub-D9 serial cable in black designed for reliable wired communication between devices with standard 9-pin serial ports. The cable provides a straightforward connection for data transfer, control signals and legacy equipment integration where RS-232 interfaces remain in use. Its compact length and neutral color make it suitable for both desktop and rack-mounted setups.

Advantages

This serial cable offers durable, well-formed Sub-D9 connectors that maintain stable electrical contact and reduce signal loss. The cable construction supports consistent data transmission and minimizes interference in short-range serial links. The 1 m length balances flexibility and minimal signal degradation, while the black jacket provides a discreet, professional appearance.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, routers, switches or industrial controllers with RS-232 ports
• Programming or configuring network devices, modems and embedded systems
• Connecting measurement instruments, POS terminals and legacy hardware
• Short-range serial communication in labs, workshops and server cabinets

Key specifications

• Cable type: RS-232 serial cable
• Connector type: Sub-D 9-pin (male/female depending on variant)
• Length: 1 m
• Color: Black
• Usage: Data and control signal transmission for RS-232 interfaces

How to use

Connect the Sub-D9 connector to the RS-232 port on each device, ensuring proper orientation and secure seating of the connector screws if present. Verify that the devices are configured to use RS-232 communication with compatible baud rate, parity, data bits and stop bits. After physical connection, establish the serial link using terminal software or device-specific configuration tools. For plug-and-play scenarios, no additional drivers are typically required.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid sharp bends near connector ends and keep cable runs short to reduce potential interference. Use shielded routing or separate from high-voltage wiring when installing near power lines. Verify pinouts when connecting to custom or non-standard equipment to prevent signal mismatches.
