Cable serie ShiverPeaks BS78046-1, conectores DB-9, 1 m, gris

ShiverPeaks BS78046-1 is a 1 m serial cable with DB-9 connectors for RS-232 communication. The cable is designed to connect computers, modems, industrial controllers and legacy devices that use standard 9-pin D-sub interfaces. Its grey sheath and fixed length make it suitable for short-distance connections where reliable serial data transfer and control signal routing are required.

Advantages

The cable provides a standard DB-9 pinout that supports data transmission and common RS-232 control lines, enabling straightforward interfacing with a wide range of serial equipment. Its 1 m length reduces excess slack in desktop and rack environments while the robust D-sub connectors offer secure mating and mechanical stability. The neutral grey jacket helps the cable blend into professional and industrial installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting legacy PCs or terminals to modems and serial peripherals
• Linking industrial controllers, PLCs or instrumentation with RS-232 ports
• Configuration and troubleshooting of network devices and embedded systems
• Serial console access for routers, switches and other equipment

Key specifications

• Connector type: DB-9 male to DB-9 female (standard D-sub 9-pin)
• Cable length: 1 meter
• Cable colour: grey
• Interface standard: RS-232 serial communication
• Signal support: data lines and common RS-232 control signals (RTS/CTS, DTR/DSR depending on device wiring)

How to use

Plug the DB-9 connectors into the corresponding serial ports on the devices, ensuring secure engagement of the D-sub shells or thumbscrews where present. Confirm that the connected devices share compatible RS-232 settings (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits) and enable required control lines in software or firmware if needed. For one-off connections, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it away from high-voltage or high-frequency sources to reduce interference.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, verify the pinout compatibility between devices before use and use the 1 m length for short connection runs in desktop, rack or control cabinet environments. If longer runs or enhanced noise immunity are required, consider using cables with shielding or alternative interface converters appropriate for the application.
