FAQs
What are metalized plastic D-sub hoods used for?
Metalized plastic D-sub hoods are used to protect and shield D-Sub cable terminations in data and control cable assemblies. These two-piece backshells are commonly used in serial data transmission, device management, and instrument control applications where EMI shielding and strain relief are required. Common applications include serial communications, data networks, instrument control systems, and device management cabling.
What EMI shielding do metalized plastic D-sub hoods provide?
The metalized plastic housing provides shielding effectiveness while maintaining a lightweight profile suitable for compact cable assemblies. This shielding construction helps reduce electromagnetic interference in serial data transmission, device management, and instrument control applications. The metalized construction balances shielding performance with weight considerations compared to all-metal backshell alternatives used in data network and control system cable assemblies.
How are two-piece D-sub backshells installed?
Designed with a straight cable exit and two-piece construction, D-sub backshells allow quick installation over D-sub connectors. The included hardware supports attachment to standard D-Sub connectors used in data networks and control systems. The two-piece design enables assembly over terminated D-Sub connectors without requiring connector disassembly in serial communications, instrument control, and device management cable assembly applications.
What strain relief features do metalized D-sub hoods include?
L-com D-sub hoods include internal strain relief components to help secure the cable jacket and reduce stress at the connector termination point. This strain relief construction protects cable terminations from mechanical stress during installation and use in serial data transmission and instrument control applications. Reduced connector termination stress supports longer cable assembly service life in data network and control system deployments.
What hardware is included with metalized plastic D-sub hoods?
The hardware included with metalized plastic D-sub hoods supports attachment to standard D-Sub connectors used in data networks and control systems. Internal strain relief components secure the cable jacket and reduce stress at the connector termination point. The complete hardware package supports consistent assembly across serial communications, device management, and instrument control cable assembly applications without requiring separate hardware sourcing.
What applications use metalized plastic D-sub backshells?
Common applications that use metalized plastic D-sub hoods include serial communications, data networks, instrument control systems, and device management cabling. Metalized plastic D-sub hoods provide EMI shielding and strain relief for D-Sub cable terminations in data and control cable assemblies. The lightweight metalized plastic construction supports compact cable assemblies in serial data transmission and instrument control applications where both shielding effectiveness and weight management are important.
