C2G 35ft Serial RS232 DB9 Cable with Low-Profile Connectors

Overview

The C2G 52162 is a 35 ft RS-232 serial cable designed to provide reliable serial communication over longer distances. It features male DB9 connectors housed in low-profile shells only 1.25 inches deep, making it ideal for installations where space behind wall plates or inside racks is limited. The cable supports standard RS-232 signaling with crossed transmit and receive lines to ensure proper handshaking between devices.

Its fully shielded design minimizes electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, maintaining clean data transmission in environments such as classrooms, offices, and industrial floors. The cable’s CMG and FT4 ratings allow safe in-wall or ceiling routing while meeting North American safety codes.

Key features

• 35 ft length provides ample reach for setups spanning classrooms, conference rooms, or manufacturing areas
• Low-profile DB9 connectors fit easily inside gang boxes and behind wall plates without crowding space
• Fully shielded jacket reduces EMI and RFI noise, ensuring stable and clear serial communication
• Crossed transmit (TX) and receive (RX) lines maintain proper RS-232 handshaking between connected equipment
• CMG and FT4 fire safety ratings allow safe routing through walls and ceilings in commercial and residential buildings
• 28 AWG conductors combined with molded strain relief enhance durability and protect against repeated bending
• Thumbscrews on connectors secure plugs firmly to prevent accidental disconnections during daily use
• Lifetime warranty from C2G offers long-term confidence in the cable’s performance and build quality
