Custom America POS 41000000087800 Serial Converter EVO RJ45 to DB9
Overview
The Custom America POS 41000000087800 is a serial converter that bridges RJ45 and DB9 connections for EVO point-of-sale systems. This is the direct replacement for the legacy POS-X part number EVO-XZ1-SC. If you're maintaining or expanding an existing EVO deployment and need to connect peripherals (receipt printers, cash drawers, pole displays, barcode scanners) that use DB9 serial interfaces to an RJ45-terminated EVO controller, this converter handles that job without requiring rewiring or adapter chains.
Key Features
- RJ45 Input / DB9 Output: One connector type to the other — eliminates the need for separate adapters or custom cabling. Your EVO system speaks RJ45; your legacy serial devices speak DB9. This converter is the direct bridge.
- EVO System Compatibility: Designed and validated for Custom America POS EVO controllers. If you're running EVO, this part is tested and known to work — no compatibility guessing or field troubleshooting needed.
- Drop-in Replacement for EVO-XZ1-SC: If your site is currently using the legacy POS-X EVO-XZ1-SC converter and it fails or you need a spare, the 41000000087800 is the factory equivalent. Same pinouts, same form factor, same electrical characteristics.
- Passive Serial Conversion: No power supply, no drivers, no software — the 41000000087800 converts the signal level and pin arrangement only. Serial data flows through the converter to whatever peripheral is on the DB9 side. Reduces complexity in POS cabinets and under-counter installations.
- Compact Form Factor: Small enough to mount directly behind a controller or in a cable tray without consuming rack space or adding clutter to the wiring bundle.
- Warehouse and Retail-Grade Durability: Built to tolerate the thermal and electrical environment of a POS terminal — no exotic cooling or isolation required. Ships factory-new with no cosmetic or functional defects.
Integration & Compatibility
This converter is purpose-built for EVO systems. Before ordering, confirm that your POS controller is an EVO model and that you have an open RJ45 port available for the converter. The DB9 side connects to any standard serial peripheral — printers, cash drawers, barcode scanners, or pole displays that use RS-232 or TTL serial signaling. If your peripheral uses USB or Ethernet natively, you will not need this converter; use a native connection instead. The model number 41000000087800 should match your internal part request or purchase order exactly to ensure you receive the correct variant.
What's in the Box
The 41000000087800 ships as a single converter unit. No additional cables, adapters, or mounting hardware are included — the converter itself is the complete product. If you need RJ45 or DB9 cables to connect the converter to your controller or peripherals, source those separately based on your cable routing and length requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the 41000000087800 compatible with non-EVO Custom America POS systems?
A: The converter is designed for EVO controllers. If you are running a different Custom America POS platform, confirm compatibility with your system integrator or the controller documentation before purchasing.
Q: What serial protocols does the 41000000087800 support?
A: The converter passes standard RS-232 and TTL serial data. Specific protocol support (Opos, JavaPOS, etc.) depends on the peripheral and the EVO controller's driver configuration, not the converter itself.
Q: Can I use the 41000000087800 to convert DB9 input to RJ45 output?
A: No. This converter is RJ45 input to DB9 output only. If you need the reverse direction, contact your supplier or integrator for the correct model.
Q: Is a power supply required for the 41000000087800?
A: No. The converter is passive — it requires no external power. It converts signal level and pin assignment only.
Q: What is the warranty on the 41000000087800?
A: Specific warranty terms are determined by the seller or distributor. Confirm the warranty period with your purchase order or invoice.
The 41000000087800 solves a specific problem in EVO deployments: legacy serial peripherals that won't disappear, and modern controllers that only speak RJ45. I've seen this in a dozen warehouse POS setups — a site upgrades to EVO but keeps their existing Epson receipt printer or Casio pole display because replacing hardware just to avoid an adapter is waste. The 41000000087800 is the clean solution: passive, no power needed, no software, just signal conversion. If you're troubleshooting an EVO installation and discovering that your DB9-only printer won't talk to the controller, the 41000000087800 is your first line of repair.
Technical Highlights:
- Passive RJ45-to-DB9 Architecture: No active electronics, no power draw, no driver installation — the converter is a simple level-shifter and pin mapper. Reduces points of failure and support calls compared to powered adapters.
- EVO-Validated Form Factor: This is the exact pinout and electrical design as the legacy EVO-XZ1-SC, so any existing documentation or wiring diagrams for that part apply directly to the 41000000087800. Migration from the old part to the new part is a straight swap.
- Compact Under-Cabinet Footprint: Weighs almost nothing and takes up minimal shelf or cable-tray space. In a dense POS installation where every inch of real estate is contested, passive converters like the 41000000087800 win against bulkier solutions.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm your EVO controller actually has an open RJ45 port before deploying the converter. If all RJ45 ports are in use, you'll need to relocate or consolidate another device.
- The 41000000087800 does not provide electrical isolation. If your serial peripheral shares a ground with the POS system and you experience data corruption or noise, check your grounding and cable shielding first — the converter will not filter electrical faults.
For warehouse POS systems running EVO with aging serial peripherals that you cannot retire immediately, the 41000000087800 is the standard repair and upgrade part. It's not exciting, but it works, and it doesn't add complexity or cost to your environment.
