Reliable DB9, DB15, DB25 and Custom D-Sub Cable Solutions for Industrial and OEM Applications

Yihetai manufactures custom D-sub cable assemblies for industrial equipment, automation systems, control panels, communication devices, testing instruments, medical equipment and OEM electronic products. For equipment that requires multi-branch wiring, signal connection and power distribution, we can also provide custom industrial wire harnesses based on your drawings or samples.

Whether you need a simple DB9 serial cable, a shielded DB25 cable assembly, an overmolded VGA HD15 cable, or a fully customized multi-branch D-sub wiring harness, our engineering and production team can build the cable according to your drawing, sample, pinout or application requirements.

What Is D-Sub Cable Assembly?

A D-Sub cable assembly is a cable solution using D-Subminiature connectors such as DB9, DB15, DB25, DB37 or HD15 connectors. These connectors are widely used for signal transmission, data communication, control interface, serial communication and equipment connection.

Common D-sub connector types include:

Connector Type	Common Use
DB9 Cable Assembly	RS232 serial communication, control interface, industrial equipment
DB15 Cable Assembly	VGA, joystick interface, control signal or custom I/O wiring
DB25 Cable Assembly	Parallel port, industrial I/O, test equipment and legacy systems
DB37 Cable Assembly	Multi-signal industrial interface, data acquisition and control wiring
DB50 Cable Assembly	High-density signal connection and multi-channel control systems
High-Density D-sub Cable	Compact equipment requiring more pins in limited space

At Yihetai, each D-Sub cable assembly can be manufactured according to customer drawings, samples, wiring diagrams or technical specifications.

D-sub Pinout, Wiring & Signal Definition

For D-sub cable assemblies, pinout accuracy is critical. A wrong pin assignment may cause communication failure, signal error, device malfunction or equipment damage.

Yihetai can manufacture D-sub cables according to customer pinout drawings, wiring diagrams, samples or device interface definitions.

Design Item	Why It Matters
Pin Assignment	Defines signal, power, ground or control wiring
Connector Gender	Male or female connector must match the equipment interface
Straight-Through Wiring	Used when pin 1 connects to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2 and so on
Cross Wiring	Used for certain communication or control requirements
Grounding Design	Helps improve signal stability and reduce interference
Shield Connection	Important for industrial and EMI-sensitive applications
Wire Color Coding	Helps production, inspection and maintenance
Labeling	Useful for control panels, equipment assembly and field service

For industrial, medical, communication or test equipment where signal stability is critical, Yihetai can design shielded D-sub cables with foil shield, braid shield, drain wire and metal hood options. We also manufacture custom EMI shielded cable assemblies for applications with higher anti-interference requirements.

D-sub Connector Gender, Hood & Locking Options

D-sub cable assemblies often need specific connector gender, hood material and locking method to match the final equipment. Yihetai can customize these details according to your device structure and installation environment.

Option	Available Choices
Connector Gender	Male, female, male-to-male, female-to-female, male-to-female
Connector Type	DB9, DB15, DB25, DB37, DB50, high-density D-sub
Hood Material	Plastic hood, metal hood, molded hood
Hood Direction	Straight hood, angled hood or custom cable exit direction
Locking Method	Thumbscrew, screw lock, latch or custom locking structure
Mounting Style	Panel mount, cable mount or equipment interface installation
Strain Relief	Molded tail, clamp, boot or custom strain relief
Shell Plating	Nickel-plated or project-specific option

For industrial equipment, vibration environments or frequent plugging applications, screw lock, metal hood and strain relief design should be confirmed before production.

D-sub Termination & Cable Structure Options

Different D-sub cable projects require different termination methods. Yihetai can customize cable structure according to your wiring method, PCB layout, control cabinet design or equipment interface.

Termination Type	Typical Use
Solder Cup D-sub	Flexible for custom wiring and small-batch projects
Crimp D-sub	Suitable for stable production and selected connector systems
IDC D-sub	Common for ribbon cable and board-to-panel wiring
D-sub to Open Wire	Used for control cabinets, PCB wiring and custom installation
D-sub to Terminal	Used for PLC, industrial equipment and terminal blocks
D-sub to Board Connector	Used for internal equipment wiring and PCB connection
D-sub to Mixed Connector	D-sub combined with JST, Molex, terminal, RJ45 or other connectors
Overmolded D-sub	Provides strain relief and professional appearance

For communication devices and mixed-interface equipment, D-sub connectors can be combined with RJ45, terminal blocks, JST, Molex or other connector types. For network-related equipment, Yihetai can also supply custom RJ45 Ethernet cable assemblies as part of a complete signal connection solution.
