Description

Black Box EDN12H-0050-MF RS232 Shielded Cable - Metal Hood, DB9 Male/Female, 50-FT.

Overview

The Black Box EDN12H-0050-MF is a 50-foot shielded RS232 serial cable designed for reliable data transmission between devices. Its metal hood construction provides robust protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), making it suitable for industrial environments or installations where signal integrity is critical. This cable features a DB9 male connector on one end and a DB9 female connector on the other, facilitating direct connections between serial ports on equipment like industrial controllers, legacy security systems, or diagnostic tools.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for standard RS232 serial communication. It is compatible with any equipment featuring DB9 male or female serial ports, including but not limited to: industrial automation controllers, legacy CCTV DVRs, network switches with console ports, POS systems, and diagnostic equipment. Ensure your devices utilize the standard DB9 serial interface for connectivity.

Installation Notes

The metal hood on the DB9 connectors should be securely fastened to ensure proper shielding. For optimal EMI/RFI protection, ensure the cable is routed away from high-power electrical conduits or sources of interference where possible. The 50-foot length provides flexibility for installations requiring moderate cable runs between devices.
