Questions about this item

Should I pick the 12 ft or 500 ft length for my RS-232 serial device?

Choose the 12 ft cable for nearby connections; the 500 ft rating shows the maximum reliable RS-232 distance this heavy-duty cable supports.

What does the 500 ft RS-232 distance mean when I plug this into my machine?

It means you can run serial data up to 500 feet (152.4 m) from the host without signal loss, thanks to the metal EMI/RFI hoods and heavy-duty construction.
