Black Box 5ft RS232 Metal Hood DB9 Male/Male Shielded Cable

The Black Box EDN12H-0005-MM is a five foot RS232 shielded cable with DB9 male connectors that makes it easy to link serial equipment such as printers, terminals, and point of sale devices. It arrives ready for plug and play use, with all nine pins wired straight through so signals pass cleanly between devices without the need for custom pinouts.

The cable uses 24 AWG stranded and tinned copper conductors that maintain signal integrity even when equipment is moved or cables are flexed during maintenance. A full aluminum foil shield surrounds the conductors and blocks electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, a benefit when you run the cable near power cords, motors, or fluorescent lighting.

Each connector is protected by a metal hood that helps contain noise and resists physical impact. When a project calls for a different pin configuration, the hoods can be removed for quick repinning, saving the cost of purchasing a new cable. The outside diameter of roughly eight millimeters fits easily into most wiring channels and rack management accessories.

Use this cable on a technician’s bench, in a network closet, or on a manufacturing floor wherever dependable serial communication is required over a short distance. Its five foot length offers enough reach between desktop devices or between adjacent racks while avoiding the clutter of excess cabling.
