Black Box EGM16T-0005-MM DB15 Thumbscrew Cable - Male/Male, 5-FT
Overview
The Black Box EGM16T-0005-MM is a 5-foot (1.5-meter) DB15 cable designed for secure, reliable serial data connections. Featuring male connectors on both ends and integrated thumbscrews for tool-less fastening, this cable simplifies the connection process for devices requiring a DB15 interface, such as older modems, KVM switches, or specific industrial equipment. Its construction prioritizes a stable connection, preventing accidental disconnections in environments where vibration or movement is a factor.
Compatibility
This cable is designed for any equipment utilizing a standard DB15 connector. It is suitable for connecting male DB15 ports on devices such as certain KVM extenders, serial port expansion cards, and legacy data acquisition systems. It is intended for direct point-to-point connections where both ends require a male DB15 interface.
Installation Notes
The integrated thumbscrews allow for hand-tightening, eliminating the need for specialized tools. Ensure both DB15 ports are clean and free of debris before connecting. The 5-foot length provides moderate reach for connecting nearby devices without excessive cable slack. For optimal signal integrity, avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable.
