Serial Cable Datalogic CAB-408 RS-232 Pwr Coil 9-Pin Fem

The Datalogic CAB-408 RS-232 Pwr Coil 9-Pin Fem is a coiled serial cable with DB-9 female connectors designed for RS-232 data and power connections. Built to provide a compact, retractable connection between barcode scanners, terminals and RS-232 enabled devices, the cable combines reliable signal transmission with a flexible coil form factor that reduces slack and clutter in working areas. The construction and connector polarity make it compatible with a wide range of industrial scanning equipment and serial ports that accept a 9-pin female interface.

Advantages

The coiled design reduces cable snagging and improves workplace organization while allowing stretch when needed. DB-9 female connectors on both ends simplify mating with compatible devices and minimize the need for adapters. The cable supports stable RS-232 signaling and carries power where supported by the connected equipment, enabling combined data and power delivery over a single connection. Durable materials and strain-relief at connector ends increase longevity in frequent-use environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting Datalogic barcode scanners to RS-232 serial ports
• Point-of-sale and inventory systems requiring serial data links
• Industrial workstations where reduced cable slack is beneficial
• Legacy equipment integration with 9-pin female serial interfaces

Key specifications

• Connector type: DB-9 (9-pin) female on both ends
• Cable form: coiled (retractable) cable for flexible reach
• Signal standard: RS-232 serial communication
• Power support: carries power lines where device protocol allows
• Typical use environment: industrial and retail applications

How to use

Connect one DB-9 female end of the coiled cable to the RS-232 port on the Datalogic scanner or compatible device and the other end to the host serial port. Ensure correct pin alignment and secure seating of connectors. If the connected devices require a specific wiring pinout for power or control signals, verify compatibility before applying power. Allow the coil to extend naturally during operation and retract when not in use to maintain a tidy workspace.

Recommendations

Use this cable in environments where reliable RS-232 communication and reduced cable footprint are important. Avoid excessive stretching beyond the cable's natural extension and protect connector ends from impact. Confirm device wiring requirements for power lines carried over the cable to prevent mismatches with host equipment.
