Datalogic Cable CAB-328 RS232 ST CAB 25-PIN F 2 m

The Datalogic Cable CAB-328 RS232 ST CAB 25-PIN F 2 m is a 2‑metre RS232 communication cable with a 25‑pin female connector. It is intended for reliable serial data transfer between barcode readers, industrial controllers, POS terminals and computers that use a DB‑25 female RS232 interface. The cable construction supports stable signal transmission over short to medium distances and is suitable for environments where durable, standard RS232 wiring is required.

Advantages

This 2 m RS232 cable provides a standard DB‑25 female interface for broad compatibility with legacy and industry equipment. Its fixed length and straightforward connector type reduce connection errors and simplify installation. The cable's assembled connectors ensure consistent electrical contact and minimize signal loss for reliable data exchange in control and data-collection systems.

Suitable for

• Connecting barcode scanners and handheld readers to computers or controllers
• Linking point-of-sale (POS) hardware with serial interfaces
• Serial communication between industrial devices and PLCs
• Data transfer and diagnostics for legacy RS232 equipment

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 m
• Connector: 25-pin female (DB‑25 style) for RS232 serial interface
• Interface type: RS232 serial communication
• Typical use: data transmission and control signaling over serial link

How to use

Connect the 25‑pin female connector of the cable to the corresponding male RS232 port on your device. Ensure both devices are powered off when making the connection, then power on and configure serial communication parameters (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits, and flow control) in the connected devices or software. Verify communication using diagnostic tools or device status indicators and secure the cable to avoid mechanical strain at connector points.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short to medium RS232 runs up to 2 m; avoid routing near high-voltage or strong electromagnetic sources to reduce interference. For longer distances or environments with heavy electrical noise, consider using shielded serial solutions, signal repeaters, or converting to differential interfaces. Inspect connectors periodically for bent pins or corrosion and replace the cable if any physical damage is found.
