The Mitutoyo 905338 is Mitutoyo’s standard Digimatic SPC data cable — available as an accessory for indicators, height gages, depth gages, scale units, and thickness gages that use the Type F SPC port. When connected to a GageWay wired interface or MobileCollect Digital Remote, it passes measurement data directly from your gage to a PC, eliminating manual data entry and the transcription nonconformances that come with it.
This is not a standalone product. The 905338 cable terminates at a gage interface — a GageWay or Digital Remote sits between the cable and your computer and is required to pass data to any SPC software or collection application. If you’re not sure which interface fits your setup, the two most common configurations are detailed below.
The 905338 is compatible with the Type F Digimatic SPC port found across a wide range of Mitutoyo instrument families:

The 905338 cable is the standard connection cable for the full GageWay wired interface product line. GageWay interfaces support the Mitutoyo Digimatic output natively — no baud rate configuration or communication parameters required. Plug the 905338 into the gage input port on your GageWay, connect the interface to your PC via USB, and the gage is online.
GageWay Pro2, Pro4, Pro8 — Multi-channel interfaces supporting 2, 4, or 8 gages simultaneously via a single USB connection. Both USB keyboard wedge and USB serial outputs are built in. The Pro series includes configurable read switch ports, data parsing, TIR measurement modes, and AutoBaud detection for RS-232 devices. Best fit for fixed inspection stations, multi-gage measurement cells, and control plan implementations under ISO 9001, IATF 16949, or AS9100D where measurement traceability and process integration requirements are defined.
GageWay SM — Single-gage interface with USB serial output. Outputs to any SPC application monitoring a COM port. Pre-configured for Mitutoyo Digimatic gages — plug-and-play with no parameter setup.
GageWay KW — Single-gage interface with keyboard wedge output. Sends measurement data as keystrokes into Excel, cloud-based SPC platforms, or any application that accepts keyboard input.
Note: The 905338 and 905409 are the same cable in different lengths — 1 meter and 2 meter respectively. Choose the length appropriate for your station layout.
If you purchased a Mitutoyo ID-C or ID-F indicator from the 543-70X, 543-71X, 543-72X, or 543-73X series (introduced in 2023), the 905338 is not the correct cable. Those updated NX-series indicators replaced the Type F SPC port with Mitutoyo’s new Type SF connector, which supports the higher-resolution Digimatic D2 and bidirectional S1 protocols. The correct cable for those indicators is the Mitutoyo 06AGL011.
For a full breakdown of what changed and how to identify which connector your indicator has, see our guide to Mitutoyo’s SPC cable connector changes.
The 905338 covered on this page applies to all pre-2023 ID-C and ID-F indicators, as well as height gages (570 series), depth gages, scale units (572 series), and thickness gages that continue to use the original Type F connector.
MicroRidge is a Certified Mitutoyo Distributor. If you’re sourcing a 905338 cable and also need a Mitutoyo gage — whether that’s a Digimatic indicator, height gage, depth gage, or caliper — contact our sales team at sales@microridge.com. We can source the instrument and the interface cable together and confirm compatibility before anything ships.
The 905338 is also compatible with the MobileCollect Digital Remote for installations where the gage is stationary and wired into a MobileCollect system rather than a standalone GageWay interface. The Digital Remote provides two-way Digimatic communication — it can receive measurement data from the gage and initiate readings remotely, similar in function to the Command Mobile Module but over a wired connection.
This configuration is most applicable for fixed measurement stations integrated into a larger MobileCollect Wireless network, where the gage itself doesn’t move but the data still needs to route through the MobileCollect infrastructure. For the majority of single-station or multi-station wired setups, a GageWay interface is the more direct and cost-effective path.
If your measurement application is better served by wireless SPC data collection, MicroRidge offers wireless connector alternatives for the same Mitutoyo 905338 gage family — replacing the wired cable with a wireless transmitter connector:
M3 Connector — Mitutoyo 905338 — For the Mini Mobile Module EVO (M3E) wireless transmitter. Readings are triggered from the transmitter body. Best for handheld or portable gages used across multiple measurement points.
DC Connector — Mitutoyo 905338 — For the Command Mobile Module (DC) wireless transmitter. Supports simultaneous multi-gage triggering from the MobileCollect Base or SPC software — common in large fixtures or multi-point inspection setups.
