Datalogic Connection Module for Barcode Scanner (CM9681-N200)

Unlike generic scanner cradles that lock you into a single host connection, the Datalogic CM9681-N200 connection module gives Gryphon 4100 and 4400 series scanners the flexibility to switch between USB, RS-232, and Keyboard Wedge interfaces without replacing the entire unit. This modular approach reduces long-term hardware costs and simplifies deployment across mixed point-of-sale, warehouse, and healthcare environments.

Highlights

• Triple host interface support: USB, RS-232, and Keyboard Wedge via dedicated ports
• Compatible with Datalogic Gryphon GD4100, GD4400, GM4100, GBT4100, GM4400, and GBT4400 scanners
• 10-pin modular scanner connector for quick attachment and release
• LED indicators for power and good read/data transfer status
• Desktop or wall-mountable design with high-impact ABS housing
• Operating temperature range 0°C to 50°C; storage down to -20°C
• CE, FCC Part 15 Class B, and RoHS certified

In daily use

The module sits between your scanner and host system, translating the scanner's output into the required protocol. In a retail checkout, connect via USB for plug-and-play simplicity. In an industrial RS-232 environment, use the DB9 port for legacy integration. Keyboard Wedge mode works with any application that accepts keystrokes, making it ideal for older ERP or terminal emulation software. The module draws power from the host connection, so no external supply is needed in most setups. A green LED confirms power, while a second LED flashes on successful data transfer, giving operators immediate visual feedback without looking at the screen.
