Description

Black Box EDN12H-0050-MM RS232 Shielded Cable - Metal Hood DB9

Overview

The Black Box EDN12H-0050-MM is a 50-foot (15.2-meter) shielded RS232 serial cable designed for environments where clean data transmission is critical. It features DB9 male connectors on both ends, housed within a metal hood for enhanced durability and EMI/RFI shielding. This cable is essential for connecting serial devices like modems, terminals, and certain security system components where interference can disrupt communication.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for standard RS232 serial communication. It is compatible with any devices requiring a DB9 male serial port, including but not limited to: Black Box serial device servers, industrial controllers, point-of-sale systems, and legacy security system components that utilize serial interfaces for configuration or data logging. It is suitable for use with systems that require reliable serial data transfer over moderate distances.

Installation Notes

The metal hood on the DB9 connectors provides a secure connection and helps mitigate electromagnetic interference, which is crucial in industrial or high-RF environments. Ensure connectors are fully seated to maintain shielding integrity. The 50-foot length allows for flexible placement of serial devices without significant signal degradation, provided the connected equipment adheres to RS232 signal strength standards.
