Lindy 8 Pin Mini DIN Cable 2 m Parallel Cable Grey

The Lindy 8 Pin Mini DIN Cable 2 m in grey is a shielded interconnect cable with male 8‑pin Mini DIN connectors on both ends, engineered for reliable analog and digital signal transmission between devices with Mini DIN ports. At 2 meters length it provides moderate reach for desktop setups, AV equipment, peripherals and industrial control devices while its molded strain reliefs and robust jacket improve durability in regular use.

Advantages

The cable combines a standardized 8‑pin Mini DIN interface with a flexible yet durable outer sheath that resists kinking and normal wear. Gold‑plated contacts ensure corrosion resistance and consistent electrical contact, while the connector shells and molded backshells reduce connector stress. Its neutral grey colour integrates unobtrusively into office, studio or equipment-rack environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting legacy peripherals and input devices using 8‑pin Mini DIN ports
• Audio/video equipment and control signal links in home and professional AV setups
• Industrial and laboratory instruments requiring short to medium cable runs
• Workstation and desktop connections where a 2 m length is appropriate

Key specifications

• Connector type: 8‑pin Mini DIN, male to male
• Length: 2 metres
• Cable colour: grey
• Contact plating: gold plated contacts for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Jacket: flexible PVC or similar thermoplastic outer jacket for abrasion resistance
• Strain relief: molded connector backshells for reduced mechanical stress
• Shielding: braided or foil shield to reduce electromagnetic interference

How to use

Identify the Mini DIN sockets on both devices and align the 8‑pin male connector orientation with the socket keyway before inserting. Apply steady, even pressure until the connector seats; do not force. For removal, grip the molded backshell and pull straight out to avoid bending the pins. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, pinching or exposure to sharp edges and secure it with cable ties if necessary to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use this Lindy 8 Pin Mini DIN Cable for short to medium interconnections where a standardized Mini DIN interface is required. Avoid repeated sharp bending near the connectors and keep the cable away from high‑voltage power lines and strong electromagnetic sources to preserve signal integrity. For installations in harsh environments, consider additional protective routing or conduit.
