Docking cradle Zebra TC22/TC27 met HDMI, Ethernet, 3,5 mm audio en 4× USB-A

The Docking Cradle Zebra TC22/TC27 with HDMI, Ethernet, 3.5mm Audio and 4× USB-A provides a single docking point for Zebra TC22 and TC27 mobile computers, enabling desktop-style connections while keeping the handheld devices charged and accessible. The cradle integrates an HDMI video output for external displays, a Gigabit Ethernet LAN port for stable network connectivity, a 3.5 mm audio jack for headsets or speakers and four USB-A ports for peripherals such as keyboards, mice or barcode scanners. The design is intended to simplify device management in environments where mobile devices are regularly docked and undocked, and to support faster workflows in retail, warehousing and field operations.

Advantages

The cradle consolidates multiple interfaces into one compact accessory to reduce cable clutter and provide reliable physical connections for peripherals and network access. It charges the docked device while maintaining communication links to external display, LAN and audio equipment. The inclusion of four USB-A ports allows connection of several USB peripherals simultaneously. The HDMI port supports connecting a monitor for a larger display when stationary, and the Ethernet port provides a more stable and secure network link than wireless where required.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Retail point-of-sale setups requiring quick transition between mobile and desktop workflows
• Warehouse packing, inventory and back-office stations where peripherals and wired network are needed
• Front-desk or service counters that use external displays, audio and input devices with TC22/TC27 units
• Field operations that return devices to a base station for charging and data synchronization

How to use

Place the Zebra TC22 or TC27 mobile computer into the cradle so that the device aligns with the docking contacts. Connect the cradle to power and to required peripherals: plug an HDMI cable to an external monitor, connect a network cable to the Ethernet port, attach audio equipment to the 3.5 mm jack and connect USB devices to the USB-A ports. Ensure the host device is seated fully to enable charging and data connections. Use the connected display, network and peripherals as you would with a desktop configuration while the mobile computer remains docked.

Recommendations

Use shielded cables for Ethernet and HDMI where possible to reduce interference; verify firm seating of the TC22/TC27 in the cradle before starting data transfer or charging; avoid exposing the cradle to moisture or extreme temperatures to maintain reliable operation.
