GEV267 806093 0B 5 pin Male to USB Data Cable for Viva Total Stations

In this review of the GEV267 data cable, the bottom line is simple: surveyors and instrument technicians who need a straightforward way to move field data to a Windows PC will find a dependable, no-frills solution. The cable is aimed at users of Viva Total Stations, TPS1200 Series digital theodolites and DNA Series Digital Levels who need direct USB transfer to Win7, Win8 or Win10 computers. This review focuses on compatibility, build quality and everyday usability when transferring survey files and instrument data.

Key Features

• Direct USB transfer: Connects the instrument to a computer USB port so users can download and store measurement data without intermediary hardware.
• Broad Windows compatibility: Works with Win7, Win8 and Win10 systems, making it suitable for sites that still run older survey computers.
• Industry connector pair: Features a 0B 5 pin male plug and a USB plug so it matches legacy instrument ports and standard PC inputs.
• Ready length: At 70.8in (1.8m) the cable is long enough for most field setups while remaining compact for transport and storage.
• Quality tested: Each cable is rigorously tested for compatibility with major brand instruments, reducing the risk of connection failures on site.
• Customizable lengths: The manufacturer can supply other lengths on request, useful for bespoke rigs or extended distance setups.

Who It's For

The GEV267 cable is best for surveyors, instrument technicians and small engineering firms who run Viva Total Stations, TPS1200 Series theodolites or DNA Series digital levels and need a simple, proven way to transfer data to a Windows PC. It is particularly suited to users working with older laptop hardware or field computers running Win7 through Win10.

Users who require multi-platform support beyond Windows, wireless transfer, or very long runs without signal boosters should look elsewhere. Those needing plug-and-play support for modern Mac or mobile devices will need an adapter or different solution.
