NovaHood™ Connector Covers

The Ultimate in Versatility
The NovaHood can be used for any style connector…. crimp-snap, solder and insulation displacement. A connector can be fitted in one or both ends. Cables may be routed from either side or end. Hoods are available for DB-9, DB-15 and DB-25 connectors.

Simplified Assembly and Inventory
The NovaHood is designed for maximum productivity in cable and interface adapter production while maintaining consistent high quality and low cost. The snap-lock case minimizes assembly time. No screws are required to hold the case together. And the two interlocking shells for each size are identical, simplifying inventory.

The Economy of PLASTIC with the Quality and Security of METAL
The standard NovaHood is rugged ABS plastic. If you need to meet FCC computer emissions restrictions, Tempest requirements or other applications requiring shielding, the 25-pin NovaHood can be purchased with an optional conductive metal plating to help achieve that goal.

Gender-Menders and More
In addition to use as a connector backshell, NovaHood can also be used to build gender changers, converters or anything else that requires two D-subminiature connectors. It can be used to build loop-back test plugs or jumper plugs in modem eliminators. Because of its sturdy, integrated design, the cable or system integrity is not compromised by these applications.
