Description

Black Box EDN12H-0005-MF RS232 Shielded Cable - Metal Hood, DB9 Male/Female, 5-FT. (1.5-M)

Overview

The Black Box EDN12H-0005-MF is a 5-foot (1.5-meter) shielded RS232 serial cable designed for reliable data transmission between devices. Its metal hood construction provides robust electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection, crucial for maintaining signal integrity in industrial or high-noise environments. This cable terminates in a DB9 male connector on one end and a DB9 female connector on the other, facilitating direct connections or extensions between serial ports.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for standard DB9 RS232 serial communication. It is compatible with any system or device featuring a DB9 serial port, including but not limited to: industrial automation controllers, legacy POS systems, network equipment console ports, and certain embedded systems. It functions as a direct replacement or extension for standard serial connections where shielding is required.

Installation Notes

The DB9 connectors feature integrated thumbscrews for secure attachment to device ports, preventing accidental disconnection. The shielded construction and metal hood are key for deployments where signal integrity is paramount, such as near high-power electrical equipment or in environments with significant radio frequency interference. Ensure the male and female connectors are correctly aligned with the corresponding ports on your equipment.
