Purpose & audience

The Datalogic CAB-438 is a straight USB Type A cable measuring 6.5 ft, designed to connect supported barcode scanners to a host system. It suits retail, warehouse or service-counter deployments that need a reliable wired link between scanner and terminal.

Build & daily use

The cable uses copper conductors and a fixed USB Type A connector on the host end, providing a standard interface for most POS workstations. Its 6.5 ft length allows flexible scanner placement without excess slack, and the straight form avoids the snag risk of coiled alternatives in busy lanes.

Upgrade context

This cable replaces a damaged or too-short original lead for compatible Datalogic scanners, restoring full communication without adapter hassles. The jump is worthwhile when the existing cable fails, when a workstation move demands extra reach, or when standardising spares across multiple lanes.

Questions about this item

What does the USB Type A interface on the CAB-438 cable cap in practice?

The USB Type A connector provides a standard USB connection for the supported barcode scanner, with the 6.5 ft length setting the practical reach limit.

What physical space is needed to fit the CAB-438 cable?

The straight cable measures 6.5 ft end to end and uses a USB Type A plug on the host side, so allow that length plus clearance for the connector.

How is the CAB-438 installed, and what step is often missed?

Plug the USB Type A end into the host port and connect the other end to the barcode scanner; the step often missed is ensuring the scanner is powered and recognised before scanning.
