The CBL-RJ45SM9-150 from Moxa is a serial connection cable specifically developed for use in industrial environments. It connects an 8-pin
RJ45 plug on one side with a
DB9 plug (male) on the other, enabling the connection of serial devices to Moxa network devices or embedded systems. With a cable length of 150 cm, it is suitable for use in server racks, control systems, or automation installations where stable and interference-free data transmission is required.
Applications
This cable is typically used to connect serial peripheral devices such as terminal servers, industrial routers, switches, or other devices with a serial interface to Moxa products. It serves as an
RS-232 extension in environments where a direct connection via a standard serial cable is not possible or impractical. Its use in server racks or industrial automation environments is particularly beneficial due to its robust construction and shielding.
Features and Equipment in Detail
The CBL-RJ45SM9-150 features a
shielded cable design that reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and ensures reliable signal transmission. Shielding is especially important in environments with high electromagnetic noise, such as factories or when used near motors, transformers, or other electrical equipment. The
PVC jacket provides mechanical stability and protection against external influences.
Technology Explained Simply
The RJ45 plug on the board side allows direct connection to Moxa devices equipped with an RJ4ジ console port or a serial interface. The DB9 plug on the other side is a standard connector for serial interfaces and is commonly used with industrial devices. The connection operates via RS-232, a widely used serial communication standard designed for data transmission between devices in a point-to-point configuration. The cable length of 150 cm provides sufficient flexibility for device placement within a rack or near control systems.
Compatibility and Accessories
The cable is specifically compatible with Moxa products featuring an RJ45 console port or a serial interface. This includes Moxa serial cards, routers, switches, and embedded boards. It is not intended for general network connections or Ethernet connections, but exclusively for serial communication. Compatibility with other manufacturers or devices without an RJ45 serial interface is not guaranteed.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by simply plugging the RJ45 plug into the corresponding port on the Moxa device and the DB9 plug into the serial device. No additional tools or configurations are required. The robust construction and shielding ensure reliable operation even under industrial conditions.
Operational Advantages
The combination of shielded cable, industrial-grade quality, and specific compatibility with Moxa products ensures a stable and low-maintenance connection. The shielding supports use in environments with electromagnetic interference, minimizing data loss or communication disruptions. The cable length of 150 cm provides sufficient flexibility for typical arrangements in server or control enclosures.
