FAQ
What devices is this RS-232 extension cable compatible with?
This cable is compatible with desktop computers and any peripheral devices that use standard DB-25 RS-232 serial interfaces. It maintains full 25-pin connectivity for data, control, and ground signals, making it suitable for serial printers, industrial equipment, scientific instruments, and legacy systems that rely on traditional serial communication protocols.
How long is the Black Box BC00702 extension cable?
The cable measures 6 feet (approximately 1.83 meters) in length. This provides practical extension capability for desktop computer setups where peripherals need positioning beyond standard cable reach while maintaining RS-232 signal integrity through its shielded construction.
What type of connectors does this serial cable have?
This extension cable features DB-25 connectors with a male connector on one end and a female connector on the opposite end. Both connectors implement the 25-pin RS-232 standard configuration, allowing the cable to extend existing serial connections by inserting between devices and their existing cables.
Does this cable include shielding for signal protection?
Yes, the Black Box BC00702 features comprehensive shielding that protects against electromagnetic interference. This shielding maintains signal integrity across the 6-foot cable length, ensuring reliable data transfer in environments with potential electrical noise from other equipment or cabling.
What is the warranty coverage for this extension cable?
Black Box provides a lifetime limited warranty for this RS-232 extension cable. This warranty covers manufacturing defects and ensures long-term reliability for business and institutional deployments where continuous operation is essential for serial connectivity requirements.
Can this cable be used to connect two male DB-25 devices?
No, this cable has a male connector on one end and a female connector on the other end, making it specifically designed as an extension cable rather than a gender changer. To connect two male DB-25 devices directly, you would need a different cable configuration or appropriate adapters for the specific connection scenario.
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-25 RS-232 Serial - Male, helping the product integrate into common office or home setups.
