Black Box 25ft DB15 Male/Female Thumbscrew Cable

Overview

The Black Box EGM16T-0025-MF is a 25-foot DB15 male-to-female cable designed to extend or adapt connections for devices using the 15-pin interface. It is ideal for linking computers and peripherals such as Texas Instruments or NCR point-of-sale systems, receipt printers, diagnostic equipment, and control panels. The cable’s full shielding and dedicated drain wire ensure stable communication by minimizing electrical interference in environments prone to EMI and RFI.

Key features

• DB15 male to female connectors provide a reliable extension or adaptation of existing cable runs without altering original wiring.
• 25-foot length offers flexibility to position devices across desks, production lines, or retail counters without rearranging your workspace.
• Full shielding combined with a drain wire effectively reduces electromagnetic and radio frequency interference for error-free data transmission.
• Molded connector hoods with integrated thumbscrews secure the cable firmly in place, preventing accidental disconnections during busy or high-traffic use.
• Durable construction withstands frequent connecting and disconnecting, making it suitable for office, retail, and industrial environments.
• Tested to Black Box’s quality standards to ensure long-term performance and reliability.

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable supports devices that use the DB15 15-pin interface, commonly found in legacy point-of-sale systems, receipt printers, diagnostic tools, and control panels. Its male-to-female configuration allows it to extend existing cables or adapt connections without requiring new hardware. The secure thumbscrew connectors ensure a stable link even in environments with frequent movement or vibration.

Ideal uses and environments

The cable is well suited for retail counters where receipt printers need to be positioned away from registers, industrial floors where diagnostic equipment must be mobile, and office setups requiring flexible device placement. Its shielding and robust design make it a strong choice for locations with high electromagnetic interference, ensuring consistent and error-free communication.
