EFB Elektronik K5129.5 Beige 5m D-Sub 15 Serial Cable

The EFB Elektronik K5129.5 serial cable is a 5-meter D-Sub 15 connection lead designed for devices that use a standard serial interface. The cable’s beige jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for office and industrial environments while the length accommodates flexible placement of connected equipment. The construction focuses on reliable signal transmission and practical everyday use across a variety of serial communication applications.

Advantages

This serial cable delivers consistent data transfer over a 5 m span while maintaining a straightforward D-Sub 15 physical connection compatible with legacy and industrial equipment. The beige outer sheath offers a discreet look and moderate resistance to typical wear from handling and routing. The cable is built to be simple to install, with connectors that align with common D-Sub 15 ports, and to provide stable contact for routine serial communication tasks.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, industrial controllers, and measurement devices with D-Sub 15 serial ports
• Serial data communication in laboratories and light industrial settings
• Cable runs requiring approximately 5 m of reach between devices
• Replacement or spare cable for equipment maintenance and setup changes

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 meters
• Connector type: D-Sub 15 (15-pin)
• Color: beige
• Function: serial data connection
• Typical use environment: home, office, laboratory, light industrial

How to use

Align the D-Sub 15 connector with the device’s corresponding port and secure it according to the device’s connector retention method (screws or thumbscrews if provided). Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and exposure to excessive mechanical stress. Ensure both connected devices are powered off when making the physical connection if recommended by the device manufacturers, then power on and configure serial communication parameters in the host and peripheral devices as required (baud rate, parity, stop bits, flow control).

Recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, avoid routing the cable near high-voltage power lines or strong electromagnetic sources, and inspect connectors periodically for secure contact. If using in industrial environments, consider additional strain relief or conduit for protection; for sensitive data transmissions, confirm correct serial settings on both devices before commencing operation.
