Data collection systems, barcode scanners and other handheld readers aren’t always treated with kindness. They’re constantly moved, stretched, extended and recoiled, not to mention being dropped, crushed, slammed, bumped and scraped. To make sure our data collection cables, coil cords and cable assemblies can
handle this kind of punishment, we carefully consider every demand that might be placed on them and then we design accordingly. These are just some of the factors that influence our engineering:
retraction length
run time of device
security of data
abrasion, temperature extremes and other environmental challenges
inclusion of in-line integral power jacks or printed circuit boards
customizing overmolds and endcaps to match color and style of device
fixed host station vs. non-fixed
