C2G 52162

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

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable supports standard RS-232 serial communication, making it compatible with a wide range of devices that use DB9 serial ports. It is well suited for connecting control computers to projectors in classrooms, linking point-of-sale terminals to back-office systems, or extending CNC controllers within manufacturing cells. The low-profile connectors allow installation in tight spaces such as wall plates and rack-mounted equipment.

Installation and setup

The cable’s flexible design and molded strain relief simplify routing through walls, ceilings, or tight spaces without risking damage to the conductors. The thumbscrew connectors provide a secure and stable connection that resists loosening from vibration or movement. Its fire safety ratings ensure compliance with building codes, making it a practical choice for both commercial and residential installations.

Ideal uses and environments

This RS-232 cable is a strong choice for environments requiring reliable serial communication over extended distances, including educational facilities, offices, retail locations, and industrial settings. It fits well in setups where space behind wall plates or inside racks is limited, and where clean data transmission free from interference is critical. The durable construction and lifetime warranty make it suitable for installations that demand long-term reliability.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
