What is a COM RS-232 cable for scales?
A COM RS-232 cable for scales is a 9-pin DB9 female-to-female cable for connecting retail scales and other equipment with an RS-232 connector to a computer or POS workstation.
This cable is needed if the original cable supplied with the scales has been lost, damaged, or is not long enough for convenient equipment connection. The cable length is 2 meters, which makes it convenient to use at a cashier’s workstation, in a grocery store, kiosk, supermarket, warehouse, or product packing area.
What is the RS-232 cable used for?
The RS-232 cable transmits data from the scales to the computer. This is needed so that the inventory management software can receive the product weight without manual entry.
For a store, this reduces the risk of cashier errors, speeds up the sale of weighed goods, and simplifies the seller’s work.
The cable is used to connect:
- retail scales
- packing scales
- equipment with a COM RS-232 port
- a POS workstation where the scales need to transmit weight to the inventory management software
Check before purchase
Before placing an order, make sure which connector your computer has:
- if the computer has a COM RS-232 port, this cable can be used
- if there is only a USB port, you will additionally need a USB to COM Dynamode adapter
- if you are not sure which cable or adapter you need, check compatibility before ordering
Compatibility
The cable is compatible with НПП “Промприлад” ВТА-60 scales
