Black Box RS-232 Shielded Serial Cable

This Black Box IDXETS2883805 cable extends RS-232 connections with a DB9 male-to-female layout. It suits technicians linking legacy serial peripherals such as AT-style mice or EGA/CGA monitors to existing ports. The 15-foot length provides reach across workbenches or equipment racks. Clear jacket colour helps identify the cable in dense bundles.

Mylar Shielding and 26 AWG Construction

Mylar shielding blocks EMI and RFI that can corrupt serial data in electrically noisy environments. The 26 AWG conductors keep resistance low over the full run while staying flexible for routing. Molded hoods protect the solder joints from strain during repeated connect and disconnect cycles. Thumbscrews secure each DB9 connector without tools.

Straight-Through Wiring for Continuous Use

All nine pins are wired straight through so every signal passes without crossover or loss during sustained sessions. The shield maintains integrity over long transfers such as industrial logging or firmware updates. Thumbscrew retention prevents vibration from loosening the link in rack-mounted gear. Lifetime guarantee backs the assembly for permanent installations.

Questions about this item

How do I install the DB9 male-to-female cable with thumbscrews and what step is often missed?

Connect the male end to the port, the female end to the device, then tighten both thumbscrews by hand; the step often missed is securing the screws so the shielded 26 AWG cable stays firmly seated.

What maintenance or replacement will the Mylar-shielded 26 AWG serial cable need over time?

The moulded hoods and straight-through wiring require no scheduled maintenance; replace the cable only if the shielding is crushed, the thumbscrews strip, or the 15 ft length develops an open circuit.

What limit appears first when the RS-232 shielded cable runs continuously at full length?

Signal attenuation over the 15 ft, 26 AWG conductors is the first limit under sustained use, especially in high-EMI environments where the Mylar shield must work hardest.
