DeLOCK 86953 IoT Platform Cable — Multi-Coloured (Yellow, Black, Red, White)

DELOCK 86953 is an IoT platform cable designed to connect sensors, controllers and modules in Internet of Things installations. Available in yellow, black, red and white, the cable supports colour‑coded wiring to simplify identification during installation and maintenance. It provides a reliable wired link for devices such as Arduino boards, displays, radio modules and a variety of Grove‑compatible sensors and actuators, enabling signal, data and power connections for I2C, digital, analog and UART interfaces.

Advantages

The cable’s multi‑colour option helps to keep wiring organised and reduces the risk of incorrect connections in complex setups. Its Grove‑compatible design allows straightforward plug‑and‑play connections with many development boards and modules without additional adapters. The physical cable connection ensures stable data transfer and power delivery compared with some wireless alternatives, making it suitable for prototypes and installations where predictable behaviour and low latency are required.

Suitable for

• Prototyping with Arduino and other development boards
• Connecting Grove sensors and modules (I2C, digital, analog, UART)
• Smart home device wiring and small automation projects
• Industrial monitoring setups requiring reliable wired links

Key specifications

• Colour options: yellow, black, red, white for easy identification
• Compatibility: Grove‑style connectors for common IoT modules and development boards
• Supported interfaces: I2C, digital I/O, analog I/O and UART signal lines
• Function: transmits data and supplies power between devices

How to use

Connect one end of the cable to the Grove connector or compatible header on your development board and the other end to the sensor, module or peripheral you want to attach. Ensure the connector orientation matches the pinout for power, ground and signal lines required by the device. For buses such as I2C, multiple devices can share the same data and clock lines; verify address and pull‑up resistor requirements. For UART or digital connections, confirm the correct TX/RX or signal pin alignment. Secure the cable routing to avoid strain on connectors and check that power requirements of connected devices are met.

Recommendations

Use distinct colours for power, ground and signal lines in multi‑device installations to speed troubleshooting. Avoid excessive bending near connector ends and keep cable lengths appropriate for the required signal integrity; for longer runs consider shielding or using shorter segments with repeaters as needed.
