Cabo serial ShiverPeaks BS78042-2 DB-9 cinzento 1,8 m

The ShiverPeaks BS78042-2 DB-9 serial cable, length 1.8 m, is designed for connecting devices that use a standard RS-232 serial interface. Its grey sheath provides a neutral, unobtrusive appearance while the DB-9 connectors at both ends enable straightforward plug-and-play connections between computers, industrial equipment, networking hardware, and legacy peripherals. The cable construction focuses on stable signal transmission to support serial communications over short to moderate distances.

Advantages

This serial cable offers dependable physical connectivity with standard DB-9 connectors compatible with a wide range of RS-232 ports. The 1.8 m length balances reach and manageability, reducing cable clutter while allowing flexible device placement. The grey outer jacket resists everyday wear and provides a professional look suitable for office and industrial environments. The cable is engineered to preserve signal integrity for common serial data rates used in control, monitoring, and configuration tasks.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs or laptops to serial devices such as modems, routers, or switches
• Linking industrial controllers, CNC machines, and PLCs with configuration tools
• Interfacing legacy peripherals like serial printers, barcode scanners, or measurement instruments
• Laboratory and test setups requiring RS-232 communication

Key specifications

• Connector type: DB-9 (9-pin D-sub) at both ends
• Cable length: 1.8 metres
• Color: grey outer jacket
• Interface standard: RS-232 serial communication
• Typical applications: device configuration, data logging, control and monitoring

How to use

Plug each DB-9 connector into the corresponding serial port on the host device and the peripheral, ensuring correct orientation before securing any thumbscrews if present. Confirm serial port settings (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits, and flow control) in the device software or operating system to match the connected device. After connection, verify communication using terminal software or vendor tools and monitor for stable data exchange. Disconnect by unscrewing any fastening hardware and gently withdrawing the connectors.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling on the cable, keep it away from high-voltage lines and sources of electromagnetic interference, and route it through tidy cable management to reduce mechanical stress. If using in industrial environments, consider additional strain relief or protective conduits where needed.
