Charging cradle kit Zebra TC73/78 set of 5 with USB and Ethernet ports

The Zebra Charging cradle kit for TC73/TC78 (set of 5) provides a compact multi-unit solution for charging and wired connectivity of Zebra TC73 and TC78 mobile computers. Each cradle supplies power to a single device while offering USB and Ethernet ports for wired data or network access. The kit is intended for environments that require reliable charging and stable wired connections for multiple handheld units, such as retail points of sale, warehouses, and service fleets.

Advantages

The kit consolidates power and network access into a single, space-saving cradle per device, reducing cable clutter and simplifying desk or counter layouts. USB ports enable wired data transfer or peripheral connectivity, while Ethernet ports provide consistent network access where Wi‑Fi may be limited or where a wired connection is preferred for speed and reliability. Including five cradles in one kit streamlines deployment and inventory management for small to medium device fleets.

Suitable for

• Retail checkout and back-office device charging and connectivity
• Warehouse and distribution center handheld charging stations
• Field service hubs where devices are docked for sync and power
• Healthcare and hospitality stations requiring reliable wired connections
• IT rollouts and device staging for rapid deployment of multiple units

How to use

Place each Zebra TC73 or TC78 device into a cradle so that the charging contacts align with the device connectors. Connect the cradle power input to an appropriate external power source following site electrical guidelines. For wired data or network access, connect a USB cable or an Ethernet cable to the corresponding port on the cradle and to your host system or network switch. Ensure cradles are placed on stable surfaces with adequate ventilation and that cable routing does not obstruct device insertion or removal.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use certified power adapters and network cables that meet your facility's electrical and data standards. Position cradles in secure, accessible locations to avoid accidental disconnection. Where possible, label each cradle or cable to simplify device management and rotation within the five-unit kit.
