CipherLab A8001RAC00004 USB Cradle for 8001 Mobile Computer
Overview
The A8001RAC00004 is a USB cradle designed for the CipherLab A8001 handheld mobile computer. It provides charging and serial data synchronization in fixed docking stations, supporting batch and serial communication protocols (IrDA 115.2 Kbps). This accessory fits warehouse and logistics operations where devices return to a workstation daily for battery replenishment and data transfer to legacy WMS systems running serial-based batch processing.
Compatibility
Compatible exclusively with CipherLab A8001 1D barcode mobile computers running CipherLab Operating System (cOS). The cradle integrates into environments using serial communication and batch-mode data collection workflows typical of distribution centers, inventory control stations, and receiving areas. If you operate A8001 devices as part of a serial/IrDA batch system, this cradle is the standard docking accessory for that device family.
Installation Notes
The cradle connects via USB to a host workstation or docking station controller. Position the dock in a fixed location where A8001 devices will be charged and synchronized at end of shift or between picking cycles. Ensure USB power is available at the mounting location—most standard USB ports deliver adequate current for simultaneous charging and data transfer. No special wiring or configuration is required; the cradle works with the A8001's native serial-over-IrDA communication without additional drivers beyond the CipherLab device software already deployed on your mobile computers.
