Docking Cradle CIPHERLAB ARS385CBNNE01 4-slot charging and communication cradle

The CIPHERLAB ARS385CBNNE01 4-slot charging and communication cradle is a multi-bay dock designed to charge and connect up to four compatible handheld terminals simultaneously. The cradle provides dedicated bays that keep devices organized while supplying power and enabling wired data exchange between each terminal and a host system. Intended for retail, warehousing and logistics environments, this cradle centralizes device management and reduces time spent handling individual chargers or cables.

Advantages

The cradle supports simultaneous charging and wired communication for four devices in a compact footprint, helping to streamline workflows where multiple handheld terminals are in use. Its dedicated bays ensure orderly placement and stable electrical contact for reliable power delivery. Wired data connections allow centralized synchronization and configuration of multiple units without the need to connect devices one by one. The unit’s design reduces clutter by consolidating power and data lines into a single dock, simplifying maintenance and daily operations.
