FAQs
What are right angle D-Sub hoods used for in cable installations?
Right angle D-Sub hoods are designed to support D-Sub cable assemblies in space-constrained installations helping reduce clearance issues commonly encountered with straight exit designs. The 90-degree exit configuration allows cleaner cable routing behind equipment panels and control systems in compact audio, video, and data environments. These right angle D-Sub hood assemblies are commonly used in serial data transmission, data networks, instrument control systems, and device management applications requiring controlled cable routing.
What connector sizes are compatible with right angle D-Sub hoods?
Right angle all metal D-Sub hoods are offered for multiple connector sizes including DB9/HD15, DB15/HD26, and DB25/HD44 supporting various D-Subminiature cable families. The multiple size options accommodate different pin count requirements in serial data transmission, data networks, and instrument control systems. Compatibility with standard D-Sub connector sizes enables flexible use across device management applications and structured interconnect builds requiring 90-degree cable exit configurations.
What construction features do right angle metal D-Sub hoods provide?
Right angle all metal D-Sub hoods feature two-piece backshell construction supporting straightforward assembly and maintenance with included thumbscrews assisting secure connector attachment. Metal construction provides electromagnetic shielding and mechanical protection for D-Sub cable assemblies in serial data transmission and instrument control applications. Chrome finish offers corrosion resistance and professional appearance suitable for standard interconnect environments requiring durable connector protection in data networks and device management installations.
What are the physical dimensions of right angle D-Sub backshells?
Depending on the model, the right angle D-Sub backshells inner diameter ranges from 0.430 in to 0.430 in to 0.512 in, with an outer diameter of 0.630 in and body length options of 1.850 in, 2.320 in, or 2.830 in. The dimensional variations accommodate different cable diameters and D-Sub connector sizes including DB9/HD15, DB15/HD26, and DB25/HD44. These dimensions support installation in space-constrained environments requiring 90-degree cable exit for cleaner routing behind equipment panels and control systems.
How do thumbscrews benefit right angle D-Sub hood installation?
Right angle D-Sub hoods include thumbscrews that assist with secure connector attachment. The included thumbscrews support straightforward assembly and maintenance in serial data transmission, data networks, instrument control systems, and device management applications where reliable connector attachment is required.
What applications require right angle D-Sub hoods with 90-degree exit?
Right angle D-Sub hood assemblies are commonly used in serial data transmission, data networks, instrument control systems, and device management applications requiring space-constrained installations. Their combination of 90-degree cable exit, two-piece metal housing, and compatibility with multiple D-Sub connector sizes makes them suitable for structured interconnect builds where controlled cable routing and connector protection are required. Applications include rack-mounted equipment, control panels, industrial automation systems, and compact audio/video installations with limited clearance behind connectors.
