The EK165.3 from EFB Elektronik is a serial data cable with a cable length of 3 m, designed for connecting devices with DB-25 interfaces. It features a male connector at one end and a female connector at the other, enabling its use as an extension cable or for adapting existing connections. The wiring is 1:1, ensuring direct signal transmission without conversion. The cable is shielded to minimize electromagnetic interference and includes long knurled screws for secure attachment to the connector sockets. The connectors are potting-sealed, providing enhanced mechanical stability and protection against contamination.

Data cable for serial applications such as connecting older printers, scanners, or other peripheral devices using the parallel IEEE 1284 interface, the EK165.3 is designed. The use of DB-25 connectors enables compatible connections with devices supporting this standard interface. The cable color is beige, and the jacket is made of nylon and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), offering good mechanical strength and resistance to mechanical stress. The product color of the cable is white, making it easily identifiable in technical environments.

Shielded connection ensures reliable signal transmission, especially in environments with electromagnetic interference sources. The shielding reduces sensitivity to interference and guarantees clear signal transmission. The long knurled screw design allows for a firm and durable connection that remains stable even with frequent plugging and unplugging. The potting-sealed connectors protect the contact surfaces from dust and moisture, extending the cable's service life.

Compatibility with devices using the DB-25 interface is ensured. The cable is designed for use in IT and electronics environments where a stable and reliable serial connection is required. The cable length of 3 m provides sufficient flexibility for device placement within a room without requiring additional extensions. Certification according to CE and WEEE indicates that the product meets European safety and environmental standards.

Mounting and installation are performed by simply inserting the connectors into the corresponding sockets of the devices. The knurled screws enable mechanically secure fastening, preventing accidental disconnection. The cable length and connector types are chosen to be suitable for typical application scenarios such as office or industrial installations. The use of nylon and PVC in the jacket ensures high mechanical load capacity and resistance to wear.

Operational advantages lie in the reliability and longevity of the cable. The shielded construction and potting-sealed connectors ensure a stable connection over extended periods. The 1:1 wiring guarantees direct signal transmission without delay or data loss. The cable is designed for use in environments requiring stable serial communication and offers a cost-effective solution without compromising quality.

Technical features such as the cable length of 3 m, DB-25 connectors, shielded design, and potting-sealed connectors are essential for the cable's functionality. The materials nylon and PVC in the jacket provide mechanical strength and durability. The product color white and cable color beige are visual characteristics aiding in cable identification. Certification according to CE and WEEE confirms compliance with European standards.

The cable is offered as a standalone product without additional components or accessories. The specifications refer exclusively to the cable itself, including the connectors and shielding.
