Zebra CBL-USBACLT015-M12 M12 to USB-A Client Cable

Overview

The Zebra CBL-USBACLT015-M12 is a 1.5-meter cable designed to bridge the gap between devices featuring an M12 connector and standard USB-A ports. This cable is critical for integrating Zebra's specialized hardware, such as barcode scanners and mobile computers, into existing IT infrastructure that relies on USB connectivity for data transfer and power. Its specific application is for scenarios where a direct USB-A connection is required from a device equipped with an M12 interface, simplifying deployment in environments like warehouses, retail back-offices, or logistics hubs.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered for compatibility with Zebra devices that utilize an M12 connector for client communication. It is suitable for use with various Zebra barcode scanners and mobile computers that require a USB-A connection for data offload or host communication. Specific compatible product families include the Zebra DS9908, DS8108/DS8178, DS4608/DS4678, LI4278, DS2208/DS2278, LI2208, LS1203 barcode scanners, and wearable scanners like the RS2100, RS6100, RS5100, and CS6080 companion scanners. It also supports certain mobile computers and rugged tablets within the Zebra ecosystem that feature an M12 port for USB client functionality.

Installation Notes

The M12 connector provides a robust, locking connection suitable for environments with vibration or frequent handling. Ensure the M12 connector is fully seated and the locking mechanism is engaged to maintain a secure data link. The USB-A connector is standard and requires no special installation beyond plugging into a host device or powered USB hub. The 1.5-meter length offers moderate reach, suitable for desk-based setups or connecting devices within close proximity to a host system.
