PS/2 Keyboard Port Scanner Cable

This YINGHUA C1000 cable connects a barcode scanner to a PS/2 keyboard port, allowing the scanner to transmit data through the keyboard interface. It is built for point-of-sale and inventory systems that rely on keyboard-wedge emulation. The N1181 model provides a direct link without needing a separate USB connection.

For legacy PS/2 barcode scanner integration

This cable suits technicians maintaining older POS hardware that only accepts scanner input via a PS/2 keyboard port. It is not for users who need USB, serial, or wireless scanner connectivity. Buyers requiring a different interface or a longer cable than the standard length should look at other options.

Questions about this item

What limits the C1000 cable during sustained barcode scanning?

The C1000 cable carries keyboard-port signals continuously without an active controller, so the practical limit is the PS/2 host's polling rate and the scanner's own buffer depth.

Does the N1181 cable generate noticeable heat or draw extra power during all-day use?

The N1181 is a passive PS/2 keyboard-port cable with no onboard electronics, so it adds negligible heat and draws only the scanner's normal operating current through the host port.
