Product Overview
The VISION 5m White RS-232 Serial Cable is a high‑performance serial communication cable designed for reliable data transfer between devices that use the RS‑232 standard. With a length of five meters, it offers flexibility in connecting equipment while maintaining signal integrity.
Key Features
- Length: 5 m (16.4 ft) – ideal for medium‑range connections.
- Connector Type: Female to Female RS‑232 (DB‑9) connectors, fully compatible with standard serial ports.
- Wire Gauge: AWG 28 – balances flexibility and low resistance for clear signal transmission.
- Shielding: Aluminum Mylar foil – protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) while keeping the cable lightweight.
- Jacket Material: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) – durable, flexible, and resistant to abrasion.
- Connector Plating: Nickel – ensures corrosion resistance and reliable electrical contact.
- Color: White – easy identification in cluttered environments.
Electrical Specifications
The cable is engineered to support the standard RS‑232 voltage levels, with a typical maximum data rate of up to 115 kbit/s over its five‑meter length. The AWG 28 conductors provide low resistance and minimal signal loss, while the Mylar shielding reduces crosstalk and external noise.
Mechanical Construction
The cable’s polyvinyl chloride (PVC) jacket offers excellent abrasion resistance, making it suitable for industrial or laboratory settings where cables may be routed through tight spaces. The flexible design allows the cable to bend without compromising performance, and the nickel‑plated connectors maintain a secure fit over repeated use.
Installation and Use
Installing the VISION 5m RS‑232 Serial Cable is straightforward:
- Identify the serial ports on both devices that require connection.
- Insert each end of the cable into the corresponding female port, ensuring a snug fit.
- Secure any loose ends with cable ties or strain relief if necessary to prevent accidental disconnection.
- Verify the connection by checking for proper data transmission between devices.
Applications
This cable is suitable for a wide range of serial communication tasks, including:
- Connecting industrial control panels to monitoring systems.
- Linking laboratory instrumentation such as oscilloscopes or data loggers.
- Integrating legacy equipment that relies on RS‑232 interfaces.
- Establishing temporary test setups where a short, reliable serial link is required.
Compliance and Standards
The VISION 5m White RS‑232 Serial Cable complies with the Harmonized System HS code 84733080, indicating its classification as an electronic component used for data communication. The cable’s construction adheres to industry standards for shielding, conductor gauge, and connector quality.
Durability and Reliability
Built with premium materials, the cable offers long‑term reliability:
- Nickel plating on connectors resists corrosion even in humid or dusty environments.
- The Mylar foil shielding protects against EMI from nearby power lines or radio equipment.
- The PVC jacket withstands repeated bending and handling without cracking.
Maintenance Tips
To preserve optimal performance:
- Keep connectors clean; use a dry, lint‑free cloth to remove dust.
- Avoid sharp bends or kinks that could damage internal conductors.
- Store the cable in a cool, dry place when not in use.
Conclusion
The VISION 5m White RS‑232 Serial Cable delivers dependable serial communication with its robust construction, EMI shielding, and precise connector design. Whether you’re setting up an industrial automation system or connecting laboratory instruments, this cable provides the reliability and flexibility needed for efficient data transfer.
