Description

Kantech CBLK-IT100 RS-232 Cable Kit

The Kantech CBLK-IT100 is a specialized RS-232 cable and connector kit designed to establish serial communication between DSC IT100 intrusion detection control panels and Kantech access control systems. This 3-meter cable assembly enables direct integration in multi-vendor security deployments where legacy serial connectivity is required.

Key Features

  • RS-232 serial communication cable with connector set
  • 3-meter (10-foot) cable length for flexible installation distances
  • Compatible with Kantech KT-400 and EntraPass platforms
  • Enables DSC IT100 panel integration with Kantech access control
  • Ideal for hybrid and legacy system deployments
  • Pre-assembled cable kit—no additional components needed

Technical Specifications

  • Form Factor: Cable Kit
  • Cable Length: 3 meters (10 feet)
  • Interface: RS-232 serial
  • VMS Compatibility: Kantech KT-400, EntraPass
  • Application: DSC IT100 to access control system integration

Installation Applications

The CBLK-IT100 is suited for control room deployments, equipment closet installations, and panel-to-server configurations where direct network integration is unavailable. It simplifies integration in existing security infrastructures combining intrusion detection and access control subsystems.

Perspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.

I specify the CBLK-IT100 when integrating DSC IT100 intrusion panels into Kantech access control environments—typically in facilities that need unified alarm monitoring across both subsystems. The 3-meter length works well for most equipment rack and closet configurations where your IT100 and Kantech controller sit in the same physical space. This cable eliminates the guesswork of pinout matching and connector compatibility, which saves installation time compared to field-terminated serial runs.

One important consideration: this is a direct serial link, so you're limited by RS-232's distance constraints. If your IT100 and Kantech hardware are separated by more than the cable's reach, you'll need to plan for panel relocation or consider a serial-over-IP converter to bridge the gap. Also verify that your EntraPass version explicitly supports IT100 integration—not all licensing tiers include intrusion panel communication. For straightforward rack-mount deployments where both systems are co-located, this kit delivers reliable connectivity without additional interface hardware.
