Datalogic 8-0751-03 RS-232 DB9S External Power Straight Serial Cable, 12 ft
Overview
The Datalogic 8-0751-03 is a 12-foot RS-232 serial cable with a DB9S (female) connector and external power pass-through, designed for connecting Datalogic barcode scanners to host systems that communicate over RS-232. The straight cable configuration and external power support make it the correct pick when your host port does not supply power through the serial connection — the cable routes a separate power feed to the scanner so you are not dependent on a powered COM port. At 12 feet, it gives enough slack for counter-mounted or pedestal installations without forcing the host terminal to sit immediately adjacent to the scan point. If you are wiring a barcode scanner into a POS lane, kiosk, or industrial workstation with a legacy RS-232 interface, this cable handles the physical and power connection in a single assembly rather than requiring a separate power brick pigtail arrangement.
Compatibility
This cable is a Datalogic factory accessory intended for use with Datalogic RS-232-capable handheld and presentation scanners that accept this connector family. Confirm the specific model's cable compatibility list before ordering — Datalogic scanner families (including the Gryphon, PowerScan, and Magellan series) each specify approved cable part numbers, and connector pinout requirements vary by scanner generation. The DB9S termination is compatible with standard RS-232 COM ports on POS terminals, industrial PCs, and serial-to-USB adapters that expose a DB9 male interface. Not suitable for USB-only hosts without an intervening serial adapter. Not interchangeable with RS-485 or TTL serial variants.
Installation Notes
Route the external power lead to the appropriate power supply for your scanner model — do not leave it unconnected if the scanner requires external power to operate. Secure the cable run along the mounting surface to prevent strain at the scanner's connector. The straight (non-coiled) 12-foot length is fixed; if the installation requires a shorter or coiled run, verify alternate cable part numbers in the Datalogic serial cable accessory lineup before committing.
