Connect a Datalogic Magellan 3200VSi vertical imaging scanner to a serial host over a 15 ft cable run. The 8-0730-54 provides a 9-pin DB-9 RS-232 serial interface for installations using a physical COM port or serial-capable point-of-sale equipment. Its external-power arrangement supports scanner connections that require power outside the serial data path. This cable fits counter, kiosk, and embedded scanning deployments where the scanner location is separated from the host system by more than a short patch lead. The 4.5 m length allows routing from a vertical scanner through a counter or enclosure to a nearby POS terminal, controller, or serial interface. RS-232 remains common in established retail and barcode-scanning environments where equipment uses serial communications rather than USB or Ethernet. The specific combination of a 15 ft length, DB-9 RS-232 connectivity, external-power support, and Magellan 3200VSi compatibility distinguishes this cable from shorter leads and cables intended for other scanner interfaces. Verify the host-side serial connection and the required power arrangement before installation. This item is a serial data cable, not a scanner or a conversion adapter.
