Frequently Asked Questions
What is Belden 9942 designed for?
Belden 9942 is designed for EIA RS-232 computer communication and data transmission applications requiring six conductors and enhanced electromagnetic interference protection through dual-layer shielding.
How does the foil plus braid shielding work?
The 9942 features both foil and braid shields working together. The foil provides complete coverage against high-frequency interference, while the braid adds mechanical strength and low-frequency shielding for comprehensive electromagnetic protection.
What applications require 6-conductor RS-232 cable?
Six-conductor RS-232 cables like the 9942 are used in computer connections requiring full hardware handshaking, multi-device serial communications, and applications where additional signal or ground conductors are needed beyond basic data transmission.
