C2G 10ft Serial RS232 Null Modem Cable Low Profile In-Wall

Overview

The C2G 52167 is a 10-foot Serial RS232 Null Modem Cable designed to connect two serial devices directly while allowing for clean, in-wall installations. Its low profile connectors extend only 1.25 inches from the port, making it ideal for tight spaces such as behind equipment racks, inside server closets, classrooms, or conference rooms. The cable’s full metal shielding ensures reliable data transmission by blocking electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, which is essential in environments with heavy electrical noise.

Key features

• Null modem wiring with crossed transmit and receive lines to support control systems and legacy peripherals
• Low profile connectors that minimize strain on ports and allow equipment to sit close to walls or panels
• Full metal shielding that protects against EMI and RFI for stable and error-free communication
• CMG and FT4 ratings for safe in-wall routing in commercial buildings across the United States and Canada
• Molded strain relief that enhances durability and prevents cable damage from bending or pulling
• Thumbscrews on connectors for secure, tool-free attachment and easy installation or removal

Key specs

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is designed to connect two RS232 serial devices directly without the need for modems or other intermediaries. It supports many industrial machines, control systems, and legacy peripherals that require null modem wiring. The low profile connectors and thumbscrew fasteners ensure compatibility with equipment racks and panels where space is limited, while the cable’s shielding maintains signal integrity in electrically noisy environments.

Installation and setup

The C2G 52167 is built for professional installations where cables need to be hidden inside walls or conduits. Its CMG and FT4 ratings mean it meets strict fire safety codes in both the United States and Canada, eliminating the need for additional conduit in many commercial settings. The molded strain relief and thumbscrew connectors simplify installation and provide long-term reliability, making it a practical choice for IT professionals and installers who require neat, code-compliant setups.

Ideal uses and environments

This cable works well in classrooms, conference rooms, server closets, and industrial environments where serial device connections must be both reliable and discreet. It fits well in setups that demand clean cable management and compliance with building codes. Users who need to connect legacy serial equipment or control systems will find this cable a strong choice for maintaining signal quality and minimizing physical stress on device ports.
