LC Cable
Connects RS-232 Devices to Digital Gage Interfaces

The LC Cable allows you to connect serial devices to the GageWay3, the GageWay5 and the Mx8 interfaces. The LC Cable can be plugged into any of the front panel ports on the GageWay3 and GageWay5 interfaces. On the Mx8 interface, the LC Cable is supported on 2 of the 8 ports. When you use the LC Cable, you must use the interface Setup Program to configure the baud rate and communication parameters. If you want the baud and communication parameters to be detected and set automatically, you should take a look at the ProCable.

LC Cable

Converts the RS-232 voltage levels to acceptable levels that can be used by GageWay3, GageWay5 and Mx8 interfaces.
Does not contain any internal processing capabilities, and relies on the RS-232 hardware built into the interface in order to process the incoming RS-232 data.
To use the LC Cable, you must define the baud rate and communication parameters in the setup program for the appropriate interface.
The length is 24" and contains a 10-pin rectangular connector for plugging into the gage interface, and a DB9 male connector for connection to your serial device.
This solution costs $45 and can be used with any serial device.

When to Choose the LC Cable Solution:

The interface you are connecting to is a GageWay3, GageWay5 or Mx8.
Your setup tends to be fixed for an extended period of time, and you are not constantly unplugging one RS-232 device and plugging in a different RS-232 device.
You know the baud rate and communication parameters and are willing to use the setup program to configure the interface for your serial device.
You are looking for the least costly solution.
