MDM-31SH004F-A174

D-Sub Cables

The MDM-31SH004F-A174 is a category of D-Sub cable manufactured to support a variety of specific application fields and working principles. A D-Sub cable is a type of connector that is typically used in computer and telecommunication applications. It has two parts, the male and the female, and is connected through pins and sockets.

Application Fields

A D-Sub cable is used to connect devices, often computers, enabling communication and the transfer of data. It is primarily used in networking, especially in LAN, WAN, and local area network applications as it connects various types of components to the Internet. Additionally, it is used for connecting printers, modems, and many other peripherals to the computer. It is also used in the security industry. For example, in video surveillance systems, in alarm systems, and at access-controlled entrances, to transfer real-time data.

Working Principles

A D-Sub cable is made up of several electrical contacts tabulated within an insulated \'D-Shaped\' casing, hence the name, and there are many variations of this configuration. Often, the MDM-31SH004F-A174 is a sealed D-Sub cable intended for harsh and difficult environments envisioned for use in industrial and medical applications with features such as a high-temperature grade for reliable and secure connections in extreme temperatures. It carries signals of varying frequencies depending on the number of pins and sockets the cable has. Generally, the more pins and sockets it has, the higher the data transfer frequency. Since the contacts are tabulated, the pins and sockets are locked in place, providing secure connections and preventing disconnection.

In addition to data transfer, the MDM-31SH004F-A174 also provides protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) with the use of a conductive shell which acts as a barrier against EM radiation. Furthermore, due to its robust construction, it is often used for operations in harsh environments such as factories or chemical plants. Additionally, it is water resistant, making it ideal for use in wet or humid conditions, making it suitable for medical applications.
