Description

Black Box FA454-R2 DB15HD Female to Female Gender Changer

Overview

The Black Box FA454-R2 is a DB15HD female-to-female gender changer. This adapter is used to connect two DB15HD male cables, effectively extending the reach of your existing video or serial connections. Its primary application is in scenarios where a direct cable run is insufficient, allowing for a simple, passive extension without signal degradation. The black finish ensures a discreet installation in most environments.

Compatibility

This gender changer is designed for use with any standard DB15HD (15-pin High Density) connectors. It is compatible with a wide range of video distribution systems, KVM extenders, and serial data interfaces that utilize the DB15HD form factor. Ensure your connected cables have male DB15HD connectors for proper mating.

Installation Notes

Installation is straightforward: simply plug two DB15HD male cables into the female ports on either side of the FA454-R2 adapter. No external power or configuration is required. The compact design allows it to fit in tight spaces behind equipment racks or workstations.
