Bracket cable for printer slot Diverse AK-580300-003-E — IDC to serial, 0.25 m, beige

Diverse bracket cable AK-580300-003-E is a short internal cable designed to connect a printer slot header on a motherboard or embedded board to a serial output connector. The cable features an IDC host interface that mates with standard internal headers and provides a serial output suitable for receipt printers, POS systems and other embedded devices requiring short, reliable internal wiring. The 0.25 m length and compact beige design allow simple installation inside chassis where space is limited. The cable is UL2651 certified for internal use and uses AWG28 conductors to ensure signal integrity for serial communication.

Advantages

This bracket cable provides a secure and reliable connection between an internal IDC header and a serial port without requiring external adapters. Its short 0.25 m length reduces excess wiring inside compact systems and simplifies cable routing in POS terminals or receipt printers. The beige jacket and compact form factor fit discrete installations and help maintain internal airflow and neatness. Compliance with UL2651 and the use of AWG28 conductors support stable signal transmission and safe internal use.

Suitable for

• Connecting internal printer slot headers to serial ports in receipt printers
• Short internal wiring in point-of-sale (POS) terminals
• Embedded systems where a motherboard IDC header must be converted to a serial connector
• Compact industrial or kiosk devices requiring internal serial connectivity

Key specifications

• Cable type: bracket cable for internal printer slot
• Host interface: IDC (insulation displacement connector)
• Output interface: serial (D-Sub style serial output)
• Length: 0.25 m
• Conductor size: AWG28
• Colour: beige
• Certification: UL2651 for internal use
• Intended use: internal connections for POS, receipt printers and embedded devices

How to use

Align the IDC connector with the matching header on the motherboard or printer slot and press the connector onto the header until fully seated. Route the cable inside the chassis to the location of the serial connector, ensuring there are no sharp bends or pinches. Fasten or secure the bracket/serial connector at the required panel opening and attach the external serial cable or device to the serial output. Verify connections and power on the system to confirm serial communication.

Usage recommendations

Use this cable for short internal connections only and avoid external exposure to moisture or mechanical strain. Keep cable runs short and avoid routing near high-voltage or high-frequency sources to minimize interference. For reliable operation, ensure mating connectors are free of debris and that the IDC is properly aligned before seating.
