Description

Black Box EDN12H-0005-MM RS232 Shielded Cable - Metal Hood DB9

Overview

The Black Box EDN12H-0005-MM is a shielded RS-232 serial cable designed for reliable data transmission between devices. Its metal hood DB9 connector provides robust shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring data integrity in environments with potential signal disruption. This cable is suitable for connecting industrial equipment, legacy serial devices, or any application requiring stable serial communication.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any device featuring a standard DB9 serial port requiring an RS-232 connection. It is commonly used with industrial automation controllers, point-of-sale systems, older networking equipment, and diagnostic tools that rely on serial interfaces for configuration and data logging.

Installation Notes

The metal hood DB9 connector allows for secure screw-lock termination, preventing accidental disconnection during operation. Ensure the shielding is properly grounded at one end of the cable run to maximize EMI protection. The cable's construction supports typical RS-232 voltage levels and data rates.
