Description

C2G 52185 10ft Null Modem Cable

Overview

The C2G 52185 is a 10-foot null modem cable designed for direct serial communication between two devices. This cable is essential for scenarios requiring point-to-point data transfer, such as configuring network equipment, connecting legacy serial peripherals, or establishing direct control links where a network connection is not feasible or desired. Its CMG rating indicates suitability for use in exposed, non-plenum building spaces, offering a degree of fire safety for in-wall or in-ceiling runs.

Compatibility

This cable features a DB9 male connector on one end and a DB9 female connector on the other, wired as a null modem. It is compatible with any devices requiring a serial connection that utilizes this specific pinout for direct communication, including many industrial controllers, older networking hardware, and diagnostic tools. Ensure your connected devices are configured for serial communication and null modem operation.

Installation Notes

The CMG rating signifies that this cable meets specific fire safety standards for building installations. When running this cable within walls or ceilings, adhere to local building codes and ensure proper support and strain relief to prevent damage to the connectors or cable jacket. The DB9 connectors have standard thumbscrews for secure attachment to device ports.
