Deployment / Use Cases
The EGM16T-0025-MF data cable serves critical connectivity needs in environments where DB-15 interfaces remain operational. Its 25-foot length and shielded construction make it particularly suitable for installations requiring distance between equipment while maintaining signal quality.
Common applications include connecting legacy computer systems to peripherals, linking industrial control equipment in manufacturing environments, interfacing with specialized test and measurement instruments, and extending connections in server rooms or data centers where DB-15 ports are still in use. The male-to-female configuration provides flexibility for both extension and direct connection scenarios.
Legacy System Support
Connect older computers, workstations, or specialized equipment that still utilize DB-15 ports for data transfer or control interfaces.
Industrial Environments
Deploy in manufacturing facilities, control rooms, or laboratory settings where shielded cables prevent electrical interference from affecting data signals.
Physical Profile
With a total length of 25 feet and weight of 552.5 grams, this cable provides substantial reach while remaining manageable for installation. The balanced weight distribution prevents cable sag and strain on connectors, and the shielding adds minimal bulk while providing essential interference protection. The DB-15 connectors feature standard screw-lock mechanisms for secure connections that won't accidentally disconnect.
