Coiled RS-232 Cable Datalogic CAB-362 9-Pin Female

CAB-362 — coiled RS-232 cable with a 9‑pin female (D‑sub) connector and a 2‑meter (6') length when extended. Designed by Datalogic for direct connection of compatible devices such as IBM PC/PC clones and NCR terminal type 7452, the cable includes a socket and is intended for use with an external power brick turned off. The coiled design provides retraction and flexibility in tight workspaces while maintaining a reliable serial data link.

Advantages

The Datalogic CAB-362 offers a compact coiled form that reduces cable clutter while allowing extended reach when needed. Its 9‑pin female RS‑232 connector (D‑sub) matches common serial ports on legacy and industrial equipment, and the build is suited for frequent connect/disconnect cycles. The cable’s length and coil construction provide flexibility without sacrificing signal integrity for standard RS‑232 communications.

Suitable for

• Connecting IBM PC or PC clone serial ports to peripheral devices
• Linking NCR terminal type 7452 to host equipment
• Use in retail, POS, or industrial environments with RS‑232 interfaces

How to use

Align the 9‑pin female D‑sub connector with the male RS‑232 port on the target device and tighten any retaining screws if present to secure the connection. Route the coiled cable to allow sufficient extension without placing strain on connectors. Ensure the external power brick is switched off if the connected device requires the cable to be used without external power. Verify serial communication settings (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits) on both devices before initiating data transfer.

Usage recommendations

Store the cable coiled to preserve elasticity and avoid sharp bends near connector ends. Avoid exposing the cable to excessive heat, chemicals, or mechanical stress. When used in industrial or retail environments, periodically inspect connector contacts for corrosion or damage and replace the cable if signal issues occur.
