The 18 AWG EU mains cord links a European wall socket to the power brick of a Zebra battery charger. Its 18 AWG conductors carry up to 6 amps at 250 volts, and the assembly meets CE standards. It is the first link in the electrical chain, and the only cord in the catalogue whose specifications are published.

What the cord's figures tell you

Three values are enough to judge a mains cord, and this reference carries all three.

→18 AWG: the conductor gauge, a standard value on professional cords.
→6 A maximum: the current the cord accepts in operation.
→250 V: the voltage it is rated for, matching the European mains.
→European plug: it goes straight into an installation built to French standards.
→CE compliance: the product page states that the cord meets CE standards.
→Works with both chargers: the page gives it as usable with the 4-slot battery charger and the TC22 / TC27 multi-slot charger.

18 AWG, 6 A, 250 V: sizing a mains cord

A mains cord looks like nothing much, which is exactly why it is chosen on figures rather than on appearance. Two visually identical cords may not carry the same current.

This one states 18 AWG conductors for 6 amps at 250 volts. Those values place it among professional equipment cords, sized to stay plugged in permanently on an installation that works.

On a post feeding a battery charger for your Zebra TC22 or TC27 terminals, that sizing is what lets the installation run without particular supervision.

Why conductor gauge is worth a look

Conductor gauge determines how much current a cable can carry without excessive heating. The lower the AWG figure, the thicker the conductor, and the more current it accepts.

On equipment left plugged in permanently in a technical room that is sometimes poorly ventilated, that is no theoretical detail. An undersized cord runs warm, ages faster and ends up the weak point of an otherwise sound installation.

Which is why a product page that publishes its gauge is worth more than one that says nothing, at the same price. On a stock management installation meant to last, the information has value in itself.

Placing the cord in the installation

Three references separate a wall socket from a working charger: this cord, the power brick, then the DC cable. Each is ordered separately, and all three are needed to bring a post to life.

This cord suits both battery chargers in the catalogue, the TC22 and TC27 battery charger as well as the RFD40 and TC22R battery charger. One reference to know for a site running both families.

Count one cord per charger installed, plus one spare. The rest of the arrangement depends on the terminals in service, notably the 7000 mAh battery for RFID readers. The rest of the range sits under RFID readers.

FAQ

What is this mains cord for?▾

It links a European wall socket to the power brick of a Zebra battery charger. It is the first link in the electrical chain.

What does 18 AWG mean?▾

It is the gauge of the cord's conductors. The lower the AWG figure, the thicker the conductor and the more current it accepts. 18 AWG is a standard value on professional equipment cords.

What current does this cord carry?▾

Six amps at most, at 250 volts, which matches European mains installations.

Does it suit both battery chargers in the catalogue?▾

The product page gives it as usable with the 4-slot battery charger and the Zebra TC22 / TC27 multi-slot charger. Check your charger's exact reference before a bulk order.

How many cords should we plan for?▾

One per charger installed, each with its power brick and DC cable, plus one spare. For volume pricing, our technical team answers through a quotation request.
