Features and specifications
The CAB-232MT Cisco 10 Feet RS-232 Cable Dte Male is a serial cable that allows for communication between devices with a DTE connector and a computer or terminal device with a serial port. Here are the features and specifications of this cable:
- Cable length: 10 feet
- Connector type: DTE male to DB-9 female
- Compatibility: Cisco devices with DTE connectors
- Cable type: Straight-through cable (pin-to-pin connection)
- Signal support: RS-232 standard
- Cable jacket material: PVC
- Cable shielding: Aluminum foil shielded with drain wire
- Operating temperature: 0°C to 60°C
- Storage temperature: -20°C to 80°C
The CAB-232MT cable is designed to provide a reliable and cost-effective solution for connecting Cisco devices with DTE connectors to a computer or terminal device. The cable is made with high-quality materials and is shielded to provide protection against electromagnetic interference. Additionally, the 10-foot cable length provides flexibility in positioning the connected devices.
It is important to note that the CAB-232MT cable is a passive cable, which means that it does not provide any signal conversion or conditioning. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the devices being connected have compatible signal levels and that the correct serial port settings are used.
Configuration and management
Configuration and management of the CAB-232MT Cisco 10 Feet RS-232 Cable Dte Male largely depends on the specific use case and equipment being connected. However, here are some general tips for configuring and managing the cable:
- Verify connector compatibility: Ensure that the device you are connecting to has a compatible DTE connector for the male end of the cable.
- Configure serial port settings: Configure the serial port settings on your computer or terminal device to match the settings required by the device you are connecting to. This may include settings such as baud rate, data bits, stop bits, and parity.
- Test the connection: Once the cable is connected and the serial port settings are configured, test the connection to ensure that it is working properly. You can do this by sending commands to the device and verifying that the response is received correctly.
- Inspect the cable: Regularly inspect the cable for any signs of damage or wear, and replace the cable if necessary to prevent signal loss or data errors.
- Store the cable properly: When not in use, store the cable properly to prevent tangles or damage. You can use a cable reel or cable tie to store the cable neatly.
- Label the cable: Label the cable to identify it and prevent confusion with other cables. You can use adhesive labels, heat-shrink labels, or cable markers to label the cable.
Troubleshooting common issues
Here are some common issues that can arise when using the CAB-232MT Cisco 10 Feet RS-232 Cable Dte Male, along with troubleshooting tips:
No communication between devices: If there is no communication between devices, check the following:
- Verify that the cable is securely connected to both devices.
- Check that the serial port settings are configured correctly on both devices.
- Ensure that the devices have compatible signal levels and that the correct serial port settings are used.
Data errors: If data errors are occurring, check the following:
- Ensure that the cable is securely connected to both devices.
- Check that the serial port settings are configured correctly on both devices.
- Inspect the cable for any signs of damage or wear that may be causing signal loss.
Signal loss: If there is signal loss, check the following:
- Inspect the cable for any signs of damage or wear, such as cuts or kinks, that may be causing signal loss.
- Ensure that the devices have compatible signal levels and that the correct serial port settings are used.
- Verify that the cable is securely connected to both devices.
Interference: If there is interference, check the following:
- Ensure that the cable is shielded properly to protect against electromagnetic interference.
- Keep the cable away from other cables or sources of interference, such as power cables or electronic devices.

About Refurbished Products
Serial cables are mostly used for data transfer between two devices using a serial communication protocol. The type of connectors at the ends of these cables depends on the specific applications. Because of that, there are different types of serial cables in the market. That means you need to pay close attention to the connector type before making any purchase.
What is the Maximum Serial Cable Length?
There is no straightforward answer to this question because there are different factors you have to consider. The first one is the characteristics of your signal transmitter and receiver. Secondly, you have to consider the baud rate and electrical characteristics such as impedance and capacitance. All these factors influence the distance that the signal travels. And if unnecessarily long cables are used, the signal can be lost.
DTE to DCE Serial Cables
The DTE and DCE are acronyms for data terminal equipment and data communication equipment, respectively. The cables have a 9-25 pin connector on one end and a 25-25 pin connector on the other end. They are usually used for interfacing computers and modem cards where the computer is the DTE and the modem card the DCE.
Null-Modem Serial Cables
This involves the use of a null-modem configuration where two DTE devices are connected together. Three main types of null-modem cables exist depending on the pin connectors. You can find 9-9, 9-25, or 25-25 pin connectors. This configuration requires a null-modem adapter.
Other Serial Cable Types
Apart from the serial cables mentioned, there is also another category DCE to Smart Serial and DTE to Smart Serial cables. You can also find an ethernet to USB serial cable for specialized applications. If you need any of these cable types, then you can contact us at ALLHDD. We have up to 10 feet serial cable for your application.
