The DC connection cable for Zebra 4-slot battery chargers closes the electrical chain of a charging post. It runs from the 12 V power brick to the charger, which then receives the converted current. It is the last of the three items to put in place, and the one without which a powered brick achieves nothing.

The Last Link Before Power Reaches the Charger

Three references separate a wall socket from a working charger. This one comes last.

→Downstream of the 12 V brick: it carries the converted current on to the battery charger.
→Not a mains cord: the cord plugs in upstream, between the wall socket and the power brick.
→A DC connection cable: it is intended for the catalogue's 12 V power bricks.
→Works with both chargers: the product page gives it as usable with the battery charger and the TC22 / TC27 multi-slot charger.
→Robust build: made for heavy professional use and for an installation that stays in place.
→Sold singly: one cable per charger installed, covered by a 1-year warranty.

From the 12 V Brick to the Battery Charger

A charging room goes together in three stages. The mains cord brings current from the wall to the power brick, the brick converts it to 12 V, and this cable carries it to the charger. All three are needed, and none replaces the other two.

This cable comes last, which is what makes it quietly critical. A post fitted with the cord and the brick looks ready: the brick has power and nothing suggests anything is missing. Yet the charger stays dead, and the batteries of your Zebra TC22 or TC27 terminals are not being prepared.

On a stock management site installing or moving a post, it is the part whose absence surfaces at the very last moment.

One Reference for Both Chargers in the Catalogue

The catalogue holds two four-slot battery chargers: one for Zebra TC22 and TC27, one for RFD40 and TC22R. They serve different terminal families and do not take the same batteries.

This cable, however, is given as working with both. For a site running both families, that means one cable reference to know, to order and to keep in reserve, instead of two.

The benefit is as much logistical as commercial: fewer stock lines, less risk of error when rebuilding an installation, and a spare that covers either post.

The Battery Charging Post, Item by Item

The table shows what each piece contributes, and what happens when it is missing.

The item	Its role	If it is missing
Mains cord	Brings mains current to the brick	The brick stays dead
12 V power brick	Converts the mains current	Nothing gets converted
This DC cable	Carries 12 V on to the charger	The brick has power, the charger stays dead
The 4-slot charger	Takes and recharges the batteries	No rotation is possible

The other two electrical references are here: EU power cord and 12 V power brick. The wider range sits under RFID accessories.

Planning Cables for a Charging Room

Count one cable per charger installed, each with its brick and cord. A room holding two chargers needs two complete chains, as supplies are not shared between two units.

Keep one spare. At this price level the replacement cable costs less than half a day of downtime, and it covers either the TC22 and TC27 battery charger or the RFD40 and TC22R battery charger.

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 DC cable for?▾

It links the 12 V power brick to the 4-slot battery charger. It is the downstream link of the electrical chain, the one carrying converted current to the unit.

How does it differ from the EU power cord?▾

Position in the assembly. The cord links the wall socket to the power brick, upstream. This cable links the brick to the charger, downstream. Both are needed and neither replaces the other.

Does it suit both battery chargers in the catalogue?▾

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

What happens if this cable is missing?▾

The power brick has current but it never reaches the charger, which stays dead. The installation looks complete while not working.

How many cables should we plan for?▾

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