Charging cable ACT CBA-U61-S07ZAR for Zebra barcode reader — USB-C to RJ-45, 2.13 m

Charging cable ACT CBA-U61-S07ZAR for Zebra barcode reader — USB-C to RJ-45, 2.13 m is a shielded USB cable designed to connect Zebra 3600 series handheld scanners to hosts with USB-C ports. The cable provides power and accessory connectivity between compatible handheld scanners and docking stations or host devices such as laptops and tablets. With a length of 2.13 m (approximately 7 ft) and a straight design, it supports common warehouse, retail and logistics workflows that require extended reach and a reliable physical connection.

Advantages

The ACT cable uses a USB-C connector on one end and an RJ-45 style connector on the scanner end to ensure a secure mechanical fit with supported Zebra devices. The cable is shielded to reduce electromagnetic interference and is rated for 1.2 A current, allowing charging from BC 1.2–compliant USB host ports at an accelerated rate. Its 2.13 m length offers flexibility in docking and charging setups, while the straight connector profile simplifies routing and desk or counter installations.

Suitable for

• Charging and data/ accessory connectivity for Zebra 3600 series handheld barcode scanners
• Connections between scanners and laptops, tablets or docking stations with USB-C ports
• Warehouse picking lines, retail point-of-sale counters, and logistics scanning stations requiring extended cable reach

Key specifications

• Connector 1: USB-C
• Connector 2: RJ-45 (scanner interface)
• Cable length: 2.13 m (approx. 7 ft)
• Shielding: yes (shielded cable construction)
• Current rating: 1.2 A
• Connector orientation: straight

How to use

Insert the USB-C end into a compatible host device or docking station USB-C port and connect the RJ-45 style end to the compatible Zebra handheld scanner or its cradle. Ensure the host USB port supports the required power profile for optimal charge rates; when connected to a BC 1.2–compliant port, a fully depleted scanner battery can charge in about 4.5 hours, while USB 2.0 host ports will typically charge fully in around 10.5 hours. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and pinch points and confirm secure seating of both connectors before operation.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use a host port that complies with BC 1.2 to benefit from faster charging. Avoid running the cable near high-power electrical equipment that can introduce interference, and inspect connectors periodically for wear. Replace the cable if shielding or connector integrity appears compromised.
