Garlands small conductor EIA RS-232 cables are based on the successful MC7 series but include a screen to protect against electrical interference. Overall aluminium laminate (“S” suffix) or braided wire screen (“BS” suffix) options are standard within this product range. These products are designed for low bit rate serial data applications requiring an unbalanced connection. Typical applications include the interconnection of DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) such as printers, fax’s and consoles. The MC7 “S” series cables can be used in the industrial environment to interconnect PLC’s, sensors, data loggers, keyboards and other peripheral devices. The smaller conductor size make this range an ideal cable for short run applications or where added flexibility is required. This is particularly the case with the braided screen options.
In the domestic environment, this range of products can be used on short runs to connect motion and entry sensors (reed switches) or card readers and door strikes.
For longer distance applications, refer to the MC14 S series.
