Description

Black Box FA652-R2 DB25 Port Protector

Overview

The Black Box FA652-R2 is a passive adapter designed to protect sensitive data ports from electrostatic discharge (ESD) and transient voltage surges. It functions as a physical barrier, preventing direct contact with potentially damaging electrical events. This adapter is critical in environments where signal integrity is paramount, such as industrial automation, data acquisition systems, and legacy serial communication setups. The FA652-R2 features a DB25 male connector on one end and a DB25 female connector on the other, facilitating inline protection without altering the existing cable run.

Compatibility

This port protector is designed for any system utilizing a standard DB25 serial interface. It is compatible with a wide range of industrial equipment, data acquisition modules, older networking hardware, and test and measurement devices that employ DB25 connectors for serial data transmission. Its passive nature ensures broad compatibility across various manufacturers and protocols that use the DB25 standard.

Installation Notes

Installation is straightforward: simply insert the FA652-R2 inline between the existing DB25 cable and the device's DB25 port. No external power or configuration is required. Ensure both the male and female connectors are securely fastened to prevent signal loss due to loose connections.
