Black Box RS-232 Tap Connector – LOT OF 2

A Black Box RS-232 Tap (sometimes called a data tap or “Y” connector) is a passive accessory designed for serial line inspection or parallel connection. It features three DB-9 connectors—typically two for data (male/female) and one for tapping—wired straight through on all nine pins.

Key Features & Uses

• Signal Monitoring: Easily plug the tap inline with your RS-232 link, then connect an oscilloscope, serial analyzer, or other diagnostic tool to the tap connector. This lets you monitor active communication without affecting the original connection.

• Device Duplication: Use it as a splitter to connect two terminals or devices in parallel to the same RS-232 port—useful for simultaneous testing or backup operations.

• Compatibility: Works with RS-232, RS-422, or even 802.5 communications, depending on the setup.
