50-16000-386R-Z - CS1504 Serial to USB Converter Cable | Zebra
MPN: 50-16000-386R-Z ✓ Hoạt động50-16000-386R-Z Tóm tắt
A cable assembly of this type belongs to the broader hierarchy of interconnect products: cable assembly -> data/communication cable -> USB converter cable -> peripheral connectivity accessory. Unlike passive serial cables, this assembly embeds active conversion electronics that translate the CS1504 serial signaling protocol into USB-serial data the host operating system can enumerate, eliminating the need for a separate RS-232 port or standalone protocol converter box.
Key characteristics include the CS1504 serial-to-USB conversion function, RoHS compliance, and factory-molded connector overmolds for strain relief in retail and warehouse environments. The cable is sold as a universal accessory for Zebra/Motorola/Symbol scan devices that use the CS1504 serial connection standard, so no driver-side hardware change is required when migrating legacy serial peripherals to USB-equipped hosts.
From a technical standpoint, the assembly offloads protocol conversion from the host: the converter electronics present a virtual serial port over USB, so application software that expects a COM-port device continues to operate without modification. This makes it a low-friction migration path for point-of-sale and inventory systems where serial ports have disappeared from modern PC hardware.
Typical applications include retail point-of-sale workstations, warehouse inventory terminals, healthcare specimen and medication scanning stations, and library checkout systems, all of which commonly pair CS1504 serial scan peripherals with USB-only PCs.
When deploying, verify the host OS provides the appropriate USB-serial (virtual COM port) driver class and confirm the connected peripheral is a CS1504 serial-interface device; this cable is not a generic RS-232 adapter and must not be used with non-CS1504 serial devices.

Ứng dụng tiêu biểu
50-16000-386R-Z phù hợp cho 6 Áp dụngs: Retail Point-of-Sale Workstations, Warehouse Inventory Terminals, Healthcare Specimen and Medication Scanning, Library Checkout and Asset Tracking, Legacy System Migration to USB Hosts, Kiosk and Self-Service Terminal Integration.
Retail Point-of-Sale Workstations
The 50-16000-386R-Z fits retail POS deployments where a Zebra CS1504 serial-interface scan peripheral must connect to a USB-only POS terminal. Its CS1504-to-USB conversion presents a virtual COM port, so existing COM-port-based POS software runs without rewrites - a quantified benefit of zero application-layer migration cost. The cable's single-cable integration also removes the external power brick and desk clutter that standalone converter boxes introduce, an advantage at checkout lanes where counter space is limited. Typical implementation is plug-in at the terminal USB Type-A port with the CS1504 connector at the scanner; no configuration is needed beyond driver enumeration. Plan roughly one cable per lane plus 10 percent spares, since cables are wear items, and verify the terminal OS enumerates the USB-serial class before rollout.

Warehouse Inventory Terminals
In warehouse and distribution-center inventory stations, the 50-16000-386R-Z connects CS1504 serial scan peripherals to USB ports on packing-station PCs and mobile carts. Its virtual-serial behavior preserves legacy inventory software that opens COM ports directly, which avoids costly middleware changes; this is the primary parameter-driven reason to select it over generic adapters, which lack the proprietary CS1504 connector and may not meet the peripheral's handshake/power expectations. Deployment is a simple plug-in to the workstation's USB Type-A port. In high-throughput environments, cable strain is the dominant failure mode, so route the cable with strain relief and inspect molded connectors during preventive maintenance. RoHS compliance supports deployment in EU-operated facilities without additional documentation.

Healthcare Specimen and Medication Scanning
Healthcare point-of-care stations frequently pair CS1504 serial companion scanners with USB-only clinical workstations; the 50-16000-386R-Z provides the required CS1504-to-USB conversion. Its plug-and-play virtual COM port means existing medication-verification and specimen-labeling software continues to open the same COM port, eliminating revalidation cycles - a concrete operational benefit in regulated clinical IT environments where software changes require change control. The single-cable design simplifies cleaning and cable management at nursing stations compared with converter-box plus-cable stacks. Implement by connecting the CS1504 connector to the scanner and the USB end to the workstation; confirm the clinical workstation's USB policy permits USB-serial class devices before deployment.

Library Checkout and Asset Tracking
Libraries and asset-tracking desks use CS1504 serial scanners for circulation and check-in/out; the 50-16000-386R-Z bridges them to modern USB-only circulation PCs. Because the assembly enumerates as a virtual serial port, circulation software that expects a COM device works unchanged, avoiding per-workstation software updates across dozens of public-service desks - a measurable rollout-time saving. The molded, single-cable construction also withstands frequent re-plugging at shared desks better than adapter dongles with separate patch cables. Installation is plug-in at both ends with driver enumeration; IT staff should standardize on this cable across branches so failures can be swapped without reconfiguration, keeping desk downtime to minutes rather than a support ticket cycle.

Legacy System Migration to USB Hosts
When organizations retire COM-port-equipped PCs, the 50-16000-386R-Z is the migration bridge for existing CS1504 serial peripherals: instead of discarding working scanners, IT connects them to new USB hosts through this assembly. The economic benefit is direct - at roughly $21 per cable (as of 2026-10-19), repurposing a serial scanner costs a fraction of replacing it, and no application change is needed because the USB endpoint presents a virtual COM port. Roll out by mapping each legacy COM application to the newly enumerated port number, which may require a one-time port assignment. Validate on one pilot workstation per OS image before fleet-wide migration to confirm driver availability and enumeration order stability.

Kiosk and Self-Service Terminal Integration
Self-service kiosks often include a CS1504 serial scan module for ticket or coupon scanning while the kiosk PC offers only USB; the 50-16000-386R-Z makes that integration possible with one cable. Its fixed converter electronics remove the need for a custom interface board inside the kiosk, reducing BOM complexity and integration engineering time, and the single USB connection simplifies field-service swap procedures - a technician replaces one cable instead of debugging a converter box plus power supply. Install the CS1504 connector to the scan module and route the USB lead to the kiosk PC, securing both ends with service loops. Confirm the kiosk application opens the enumerated COM port at boot, since kiosk software often locks ports at startup.

- Lower integration cost than converter boxes (vsStandalone serial-to-USB converter boxes)
Ghi chú thiết kế
Do not use the 50-16000-386R-Z with non-CS1504 serial devices. The device-side connector is proprietary to the Zebra CS1504 interface, and forcing a generic DB9 adapter or the wrong mating device can damage the peripheral or the converter electronics. Verify the peripheral's documentation explicitly lists a CS1504 serial connection before ordering. Also confirm the -Z versus non-suffixed ordering code against your approved vendor list to prevent receiving-line mismatches, since both refer to the same physical assembly.
The cable is a bus-powered USB accessory: all conversion electronics and peripheral power draw through the host's USB Type-A port. Estimated: a USB 2.0 Type-A port supplies up to 500 mA at 5 V (2.5 W), which bounds the total budget for the converter plus the CS1504 peripheral. Do not add USB hubs of uncertain power capability between the cable and the host on kiosk or cart installations; if the peripheral exhibits intermittent disconnects, connect directly to a motherboard USB port rather than a front-panel or unpowered hub port.
As a USB-serial converter cable, keep the run short and avoid routing it parallel to AC power cords or motor drives in industrial stations, since the single-ended serial section is more susceptible to coupled noise than the USB segment. If intermittent COM-port errors appear in electrically noisy environments, Estimated: adding a ferrite clamp near the host end (a common accessory-grade EMI fix) and re-seating connectors resolves most cases. Confirm the host driver assigns a stable COM port number so application software does not lose the device after reboots.
