Serial cable Zebra CBL-58918-03 — RS232 DB9, 0.8 m, black

Zebra CBL-58918-03 is a black 0.8 m (approx. 9 ft. coiled) RS232 serial cable with DB9 female connectors. It provides a standard RS232 DB9 interface to connect legacy serial devices such as scanners, POS terminals, printers and other compatible equipment requiring a DB9 serial connection. The cable includes added strain relief designed for applications that may require handheld operation.

Advantages

The cable offers reliable RS232 DB9 connectivity in a compact coiled form that extends to approximately 0.8 m while remaining compact when retracted. DB9 female connectors on both ends ensure compatibility with many legacy host ports and peripheral devices. Built-in strain relief improves durability and reduces stress at the connector during handheld or mobile use.

Suitable for

• Connecting barcode scanners to POS systems or terminals
• Linking serial printers and label printers to hosts with DB9 ports
• Integrating legacy industrial devices that use RS232 communication
• Applications that require occasional handheld cable movement

Key specifications

• Model: Zebra CBL-58918-03
• Connector type: DB9 female (scanner side) to DB9 female (host side)
• Interface: RS232
• Length: 0.8 m (coiled, extends to approx. 9 ft.)
• Color: Black
• Manufacturer part number (MPN): CBL-58918-03

How to use

Connect one DB9 female end to the serial port on your scanner or peripheral and the other DB9 female end to the host PC, POS terminal, or device with a DB9 serial port. Ensure connectors are securely seated. Route the coiled cable to allow extension during use while avoiding sharp bends. Use the built-in strain relief when handheld operation is expected to reduce stress on connector joints.

Recommendations

The cable is intended for RS232 serial communications with devices that accept DB9 female connectors. Verify pinout and serial settings (baud rate, parity, stop bits) on both devices before operation. Avoid excessive pulling beyond the cable's intended extension and prevent exposure to liquids and extreme temperatures to preserve performance.
