Black Box EYN257T-0006-MF RS232 Shielded Null Modem Cable - Metal
Overview
The Black Box EYN257T-0006-MF is a shielded null modem cable designed for direct serial communication between two DTE or DCE devices. Its metal connectors provide superior EMI/RFI shielding and physical durability, making it suitable for industrial control systems, legacy diagnostic equipment, and point-of-sale terminals where reliable data transfer is critical. This cable facilitates direct device-to-device communication without requiring a modem, simplifying network configuration for specific applications.
Compatibility
This cable is compatible with any RS232 serial devices requiring a null modem connection, including but not limited to: industrial automation controllers, legacy network switches, serial printers, and diagnostic interfaces on various hardware platforms. It uses standard DB9 (9-pin) connectors on both ends, wired as a null modem (crossover) configuration.
Installation Notes
The metal connectors offer robust strain relief and EMI/RFI shielding, essential for maintaining signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. Ensure both connected devices are powered down before making or breaking the connection to prevent potential data corruption or hardware damage. The shielding on this cable is effective against common electromagnetic interference, supporting reliable communication in factory floors or server rooms.
