Black Box EDN12H-0050-FF RS-232 Shielded Cable - Metal Hood DB9
Overview
The Black Box EDN12H-0050-FF is a 50-foot shielded RS-232 serial cable designed for reliable data transmission in industrial and commercial environments. Its metal hood DB9 connectors provide robust shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring data integrity for sensitive serial communication links. This cable is suitable for connecting devices such as PLCs, industrial controllers, diagnostic tools, and legacy serial peripherals where stable, interference-free communication is critical.
Compatibility
This cable is compatible with any device featuring standard DB9 serial ports requiring RS-232 communication. It is commonly used with industrial automation equipment, point-of-sale systems, network devices requiring console access, and older computer peripherals. The shielded construction makes it particularly well-suited for environments with potential EMI sources, such as factory floors or areas with heavy electrical equipment.
Installation Notes
The EDN12H-0050-FF features fully molded DB9 connectors with metal shielding, offering a secure and durable connection. The cable's shielding is typically connected to the metal hood, which should be properly grounded at one end of the cable run to maximize EMI protection. Ensure the connector pins align correctly with the corresponding ports on your equipment before applying firm pressure for connection.
