- CMG rating allows safe in-wall installation
- Low-profile connectors at 1.25 in depth save gang-box space
- Fully shielded design blocks EMI/RFI interference
- Crossed transmit and receive lines ensure correct data flow
- 82 m length suits typical AV rack runs
Serial RS232 Null Modem Cable
The Cables To Go 52184 provides a crossed RS-232 link between two DB9 ports for direct device-to-device communication. It is built for installers who need a CMG-rated cable that can be run inside walls in educational or commercial audio-video projects.
Low-Profile Connectors and Shielding
Low-profile connectors measure 1.25 in total depth to save space in gang boxes and fit behind slim monitor mounts. The fully shielded construction blocks EMI and RFI interference while the moulded strain relief and thumbscrews secure each connection.
Sustained In-Wall Performance
The CMG rating confirms the jacket meets fire-safety requirements for permanent in-wall runs. Shielding and crossed transmit-receive lines maintain signal integrity over the 1.82 metre length during continuous serial sessions without degradation.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 52184 cable in a gang box without the connectors blocking the cover?
The low-profile DB9 connectors measure 1.25 inches total depth, leaving enough clearance for a standard wall plate to sit flush. The most common mistake is overtightening the thumbscrews, which can bow the connector body and reduce that clearance.
What maintenance will the 52184 cable need after it is pulled through the wall?
The fully molded strain relief and CMG-rated jacket are designed for permanent in-wall use, so no periodic maintenance is required. If a connector thumbscrew strips or a pin bends, the entire 6-foot assembly must be replaced.
At what length does signal integrity on the 52184 cable start to degrade under continuous RS-232 traffic?
The supplied length is 1.82 meters (6 feet), well within the RS-232 specification for reliable operation. At this distance the fully shielded, crossed-pair construction prevents EMI/RFI from becoming the limiting factor.
