The National Instruments 182846-01 Serial Cable is specifically designed for use with 4-port serial boards from National Instruments. This cable facilitates the seamless conversion of a phone jack connector to a DB-25 male serial connector. Crafted with precision, the 1-meter cable features a 25-pin male DB-25 back-end connection and a 10-pin male RJ50 front-end connection, ensuring robust communication capabilities. It supports both RS485 and RS232 serial protocols, making it suitable for interfacing with a variety of GPIB devices, including touchscreens, PLCs, keypads, LCDs, and barcode readers. It is important to note that the 182846-01 cable accommodates the conversion of only one phone jack; hence, multiple cables may be required to interface with several phone jacks connected to a single PCI Serial Interface card. For extended reach, a 2-meter variant is available under part number 182846-02. This cable is backed by a 2-3 year warranty, and a comprehensive user and maintenance manual can be downloaded online.
