FAQ
What devices are compatible with this Serial Extension Cable?
This cable is compatible with devices that use DB-9 serial connectors, specifically mice and monitors as listed. It supports legacy serial communication protocols, making it suitable for older computer peripherals, industrial equipment, or point-of-sale systems that rely on DB-9 interfaces.
What is the length of the cable, and is it sufficient for typical setups?
The cable is 6 feet (1.83 meters) long, which provides ample reach for most desktop or rack-mounted configurations. This length allows flexible placement of devices like mice or monitors without signal degradation, balancing convenience and performance in office or lab environments.
What are the connector types on each end of the cable?
One end features a DB-9 Male connector with 9 pins, and the other end has a DB-9 Female connector. This Male-to-Female setup enables the cable to act as an extension between existing serial cables and devices, facilitating easy connections without requiring adapters.
What materials are used in the cable's construction?
The cable uses 24 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility and durability, encased in a beige Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) jacket. This construction ensures reliable data transmission, resists wear from frequent use, and provides protection against environmental factors in typical settings.
Does this cable support data transfer for both mice and monitors simultaneously?
No, this cable is designed for point-to-point serial connections, meaning it connects one device at a time. It can be used with either a mouse or a monitor that requires a DB-9 serial interface, depending on your setup needs, but not both simultaneously through the same cable.
What warranty does the Black Box BC00200 cable come with?
The cable includes a lifetime limited warranty, offering long-term assurance against defects in materials or workmanship. This warranty reflects the product's durable construction and reliability for professional use in data transfer applications.
What refresh rate or brightness details are available?
Display-oriented products are best judged through screen, connectivity, and installation specifications. Those facts help buyers confirm visual fit, mounting flexibility, and deployment suitability more clearly than generic summary text.
What input or connectivity options are listed?
Connectivity options include DB-9 Serial - Male, helping the product integrate into common office or home setups.
