USB cable Datalogic CAB-426E

The Datalogic CAB-426E is a reliable USB cable with a USB A connector and a grey outer jacket, intended for connecting Datalogic devices to computers or other USB-enabled hosts. Supplied as a single cable per pack, this cable is designed for routine data transfer and device communication where a standard USB A connection is required.

Advantages

The cable provides a stable physical connection with a reinforced connector housing for repeated plug/unplug cycles and a grey insulated sheath that resists everyday wear. Its compatibility with Datalogic devices and common USB hosts makes it a straightforward choice for workstation setups, service desks, and field use where a standard USB A connection is needed.

Suitable for

• Connecting Datalogic barcode scanners and handheld terminals to PCs or point-of-sale systems
• Data synchronization between devices supporting USB A connections
• Replacing lost or damaged USB cables for compatible Datalogic equipment

When it may not be suitable

The CAB-426E is a standard USB A cable and may not be suitable where a specific USB variant (for example USB-C or micro-USB) or a proprietary connector is required. It is not intended to provide specialized power delivery or high-speed interfaces beyond typical USB data transfer capabilities.

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB A (host-side)
• Colour: Grey outer jacket
• Pack quantity: 1 cable
• Primary use: Data and device connectivity between Datalogic equipment and USB hosts

How to use

Insert the USB A connector into the corresponding USB port on a computer, point-of-sale terminal, or other USB host. Connect the other end to the Datalogic device following the device manufacturer's instructions for secure attachment. Ensure both devices are powered as required and allow any necessary drivers to install or initialise; once recognised by the host system, data transfer or device communication should be available immediately.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the Datalogic device uses a USB A connection and that no alternate connector type is required
• Check compatibility with your operating system and whether drivers are needed for the connected device
• Assess cable length and routing needs in your workspace (length not specified with the product)

Recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid sharp bends near the connectors, disconnect by gripping the connector rather than pulling the cable, and store the cable coiled loosely to extend service life. Use the cable in standard indoor environments and replace it if the insulation or connectors show signs of wear.
