Overview

The Mencom Corporation GF-DB9-RJ45-USB-BFAF-32 is a Panel Interface Connector (PIC) designed for efficient and safe external access to control panel components. This unit integrates a GFCI duplex outlet, a DB9 serial port, an RJ45 Ethernet port, and a USB pass-through from Style B female to Style A female, all housed within a standard 32-size enclosure. PICs are crucial for modern industrial automation, allowing operators to interface with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), computers, and other programmable devices without needing to open the control panel door. This feature significantly enhances shop floor safety by reducing exposure to live electrical components and helps facilities comply with safety standards such as NFPA 70E. The GFCI duplex outlet provides ground fault protection for connected equipment, ensuring a safer operating environment. The DB9 port facilitates serial communication, while the RJ45 port enables Ethernet connectivity for network integration. The USB pass-through allows for easy connection of USB devices, such as programming cables or data loggers, directly to the control panel's internal USB ports. Manufactured in the USA, this PIC offers reliable performance and robust construction. Mencom Corporation specializes in providing over 2000 standard PIC designs and offers custom engineering services to meet specific application requirements, ensuring a tailored solution for your automation needs. The GF-DB9-RJ45-USB-BFAF-32 is rated for 3 Amps and features a panel mount design for secure installation. Its 32 housing size ensures compatibility with standard control panel cutouts.
