Datalogic CAB-448 Cable 9-pin D-Sub 2 m

The Datalogic CAB-448 is a 2 m straight RS232 direct-connect cable with a 9‑pin D (female) connector and a socket designed for connecting PowerScan 8000/7100 scanners to compatible hosts. It supports direct connection to IBM PC/PC‑clone serial ports and specific NCR terminal models, and is intended for use without an external power supply.

Advantages

This 2‑meter CAB-448 cable provides a reliable wired RS232 interface with a standard 9‑pin D connector, offering stable data transmission for scanning workflows. Its straight design and industry-standard pinout ensure compatibility with PC serial ports and selected terminals, while the moderate length balances reach and cable management.

Suitable for

• Connecting Datalogic PowerScan 8000 and PowerScan 7100 scanners to IBM PC or PC‑clone serial ports
• Connecting scanners to NCR terminal type 7452
• Data transfer and integration in POS, inventory, and industrial scanning setups using RS232
