Cable serie EFB Elektronik EK131.5 beige 5 m D-Sub 9

The EFB Elektronik EK131.5 Beige 5m D-Sub 9 is a serial cable designed for reliable RS-232 style connections between computers, industrial controllers and serial peripherals. With a 5-meter length and a standard D-Sub 9 connector, the cable provides a straightforward physical interface for devices that require a classic 9-pin serial connection. The beige jacket offers a neutral appearance suitable for office and industrial environments.

Advantages

This serial cable offers stable data transmission and straightforward compatibility with equipment that uses D-Sub 9 connectors. The 5 m length allows flexible placement of connected devices while maintaining signal integrity for typical serial communication distances. The cable construction balances flexibility and durability to withstand routine installation and handling.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to serial printers, modems or terminals
• Linking PLCs, controllers or measurement instruments in industrial setups
• Serial communication between POS systems, barcode scanners and other peripherals
• Laboratory or workshop equipment requiring RS-232 connections

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 meters
• Connector type: D-Sub 9 (9-pin male/female wiring as required)
• Color: beige
• Intended interface standard: RS-232 / serial communication
• Typical usage: point-to-point serial data links

How to use

Inspect connector orientation before plugging to ensure pins align with the device socket and avoid forcing the connector. Attach the D-Sub 9 connector to the device’s serial port and secure any fastening screws or clips to maintain a solid mechanical connection. Configure the devices' serial communication parameters (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits, and flow control) to match on both ends for successful data transfer. Avoid sharp bends near the connectors and route the cable to prevent electromagnetic interference from high-voltage lines.

Recommendations

Use this cable for standard-length serial links where a 5 m reach is sufficient. For environments with strong electromagnetic interference or where longer distances are required, consider shielded cable variants or serial extenders and verify signal levels and grounding practices to maintain reliable communication.
