Zebra 25-62186-03R Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Zebra 25-62186-03R is a specialized RS-232 cable assembly designed to interface Zebra's general-purpose fixed mount scanners, which output TTL 5V signals, with host systems requiring true RS-232 voltage levels (-12V). This conversion is critical for ensuring reliable data communication between the scanner and a variety of industrial computers, point-of-sale terminals, or automation controllers that do not natively support TTL signaling. It directly addresses the need for signal level adaptation in environments where scanner output must be compatible with legacy or specific host interfaces.

Compatibility

This cable assembly is engineered for use with Zebra's general-purpose fixed mount scanners that utilize TTL 5V signal output. It is intended to connect these scanners to host systems that require standard RS-232 communication protocols, typically found in industrial automation, retail POS, and logistics applications. Specific compatibility details should be verified against the host system's serial port requirements and the scanner's output specifications.

Installation Notes

The 25-62186-03R features a 9-pin female straight host connector. Ensure the host system's serial port is configured to accept RS-232 signals with voltage levels ranging from -12V to +12V. The scanner-side connection should be compatible with the TTL 5V signal output of the specific Zebra scanner model. Proper seating of both connectors is essential for stable data transfer. No external power is required for the cable itself, as it facilitates passive signal level conversion.
