This product is a dedicated serial cable specifically designed to ensure reliable and fast data transfer between weighing systems (scales) or pyrometers (temperature measuring devices) and a compatible thermal printer. This device is essential for the immediate documentation of precise measurements taken on the racetrack or in the workshop, ensuring that critical data – such as vehicle weight distribution or tire temperatures – can be printed instantly.
The cable's premium quality construction guarantees signal integrity and long service life, even in demanding racing environments. Serial communication provides a stable connection, minimizing the risk of data loss during the printing process.
This serial cable offers the following key benefits to users:

This serial cable is a crucial accessory for the entire measurement ecosystem, especially in the following areas:
When using precision scale systems (such as the SW777RFX™ or SW700™ XBT™ systems), the accurate recording of four-corner weights and cross-weight distribution is essential. With the help of the cable, data measured by the scales can be immediately transferred to the printer. This enables mechanics to:
When using pyrometers (temperature meters), especially when measuring the temperature of the tire tread surface, precise timing is crucial. The cable ensures that the temperature values recorded at the moment of measurement (which are critical for determining the optimal operating range of the tire) can be printed immediately, avoiding errors resulting from manual transcription.
Although the primary purpose of the cable is printing, the data transfer via the serial port can also serve as the basis for other software solutions, provided the printer or an interface device enables it. This physical connection provides a reliable communication foundation upon which more advanced software (e.g., RACEWEIGH software) can be built.
In motorsport, seconds and millimeters count. Inaccurate or delayed data can lead to misleading adjustments, resulting in reduced performance. This dedicated serial cable ensures there is no „survey zone” between measurement and documentation. The high-quality shielding minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI), which can be a common problem near other electronic devices, thus guaranteeing clean signal transmission.
This accessory is not just a simple wire; it is a critical link between precise measurement and race performance. For users, this product represents speed, accuracy, and professionalism in every step of the setup process.
