Unitech 1550-905891G RS232 Cable for MS852B Cradle
Overview
The Unitech 1550-905891G is an RS232 serial cable built to connect the MS852B scanning cradle to host systems. This cable bridges the gap between legacy serial infrastructure and warehouse barcode systems that rely on direct serial communication — common in logistics environments where parallel migration away from RS232 is either impractical or prohibited by existing software locks.
Compatibility
Works exclusively with the Unitech MS852B cradle. RS232 pinout and connector type are matched to the MS852B charging dock, so this cable will not fit other scanner cradles or generic USB-serial adapters without loss of signal integrity. Verify your host system has an available RS232 port (DB-9 or equivalent) — if your infrastructure has already migrated to USB, a separate USB-to-serial adapter will be required in addition to this cable.
Installation Notes
Standard RS232 serial wiring — connect one end to the MS852B cradle RS232 port and the other to the host system's serial port. No special tools or torque specifications apply. Verify baud rate and flow control settings in your scanning application match the MS852B default configuration (typically 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit) before deployment. Serial cable runs should remain under 50 feet for reliable data transmission without external buffers.
