Black Box EGM16T-0050-MF DB15 Thumbscrew Cable
Overview
The Black Box EGM16T-0050-MF is a 50-foot (15.2-meter) DB15 thumbscrew cable designed to extend existing connections. This male-to-female configuration is ideal for situations where a standard cable length is insufficient, such as routing cables through conduits or across larger workspaces without compromising signal integrity. It ensures a secure, reliable link for devices requiring a DB15 interface.
Compatibility
This cable is compatible with any equipment utilizing a standard DB15 connector. It is commonly used with older VGA video interfaces, serial data connections, and certain joystick or game port applications. Specifically, it functions with devices that require a male DB15 input and a female DB15 output for extension, such as extending a monitor cable from a wall plate to a projector or connecting a remote sensor to a data acquisition unit.
Installation Notes
The thumbscrew connectors provide a tool-less secure connection, preventing accidental disconnection. Ensure the male connector is fully seated into the female port and that both thumbscrews are tightened to prevent signal loss or intermittent connectivity. The cable's 50-foot length allows for flexible routing but consider potential signal degradation over very long distances for high-bandwidth applications, though this is generally not an issue for standard DB15 signals within this length.
