The Moxa CBL-RJ45SF25-150 is an industrial-grade serial extension cable specifically developed for use in industrial environments. It is used to connect serial end devices with Moxa multiport cards or modules, enabling extension of the transmission distance for serial signals. The cable connects an 8-pin RJ45 plug on the board side to a female DB25 socket on the device side and has a length of 150 cm. The construction is designed for robustness to meet the requirements of industrial installations.
Applications
The cable is suitable for applications in industrial environments where serial communication over longer distances is required. It is commonly used in automation systems, machine controls, process control systems, or for integrating legacy devices into modern networks. The use of RJ45 and DB25 connectors enables flexible integration into existing systems, especially when devices are equipped with RJ45 connectors for serial interfaces.
Features and Equipment in Detail
The cable features an industrial-grade PVC jacket that resists mechanical stress and environmental influences such as dust or moisture. The connectors are mechanically robust to ensure long service life and reliable operation. The compact design saves space in the enclosure. The connection is made via an 8-pin RJ45 plug on the board side and a female DB25 socket on the device side, enabling a direct connection between a serial interface module and a device with a DB25 connector.
Technology Explained Simply
Serial communication operates via standards such as RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485, which are widely used in industry. The cable transmits serial signals without active amplification, meaning the maximum transmission distance depends on the physical properties of the cable and signal quality. The length of 150 cm is sufficient for many industrial applications to connect devices within an enclosure or in close proximity. The use of RJ45 connectors enables a standardized and easy-to-handle connection, especially when devices already have RJ45 connectors for serial interfaces.
Compatibility and Accessories
The cable is specifically designed for connection to Moxa multiport cards and modules. It supports all common serial communication standards used in industrial applications. The connection is made via an RJ45 plug on the board side, typically connected to serial interface modules or cards, and a DB25 socket on the device side, compatible with corresponding serial end devices. It is part of a broad range of connection cables from Moxa, offering various connector combinations and lengths.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is done by simply plugging the RJ45 and DB25 connectors into the corresponding ports. No additional mounting or tools are required. The mechanically robust design of the connectors ensures a secure and durable connection. The cable length of 150 cm allows flexible positioning of devices within an enclosure or in close proximity.
Operational Advantages
The cable provides a reliable and robust connection for serial data transmission in industrial environments. The industrial-grade design with PVC jacket and mechanically stable connectors ensures long service life and minimizes failure risks. The compact design and standardized connectors simplify integration into existing systems and reduce installation time. The use of RJ45 and DB25 connectors enables flexible and universal application in various industrial scenarios.
