The DS1402 series of 1-Wire network cables provides connectivity to any USB, serial, or parallel port 1-Wire adapter. Both the iButton probe cables and the Blue Dot receptor cables can touch any iButton, but can only hold the F5 version iButtons. The DS1402-BR8+ is an extension cable for the DS1401 iButton Holder. Applications of the DS1402-series 1-Wire network cables range from software protection and access control to asset management and thermal monitoring through handheld computers.
