Zebra RS-232 Cable for Nixdorf Beetle, 5V Direct Power, 2 m

Nixdorf Beetle RS-2325V direct power2 m (7 ft) straightTTL current-limit protection

The Zebra CBA-R08-S07ZBR is the official RS-232 cable that connects Zebra corded scanners such as the DS2208 and DS9908 to a Wincor Nixdorf Beetle POS, taking 5V power directly from the Beetle's powered serial port over a 2 m (7 ft) straight lead.

Because power comes through the cable, no separate scanner power supply is needed on a Beetle till. Zebra added TTL current-limit protection to this version, which replaces the discontinued CBA-R08-S07ZAR.

Before you order: This cable is specifically for Nixdorf Beetle 5V powered RS-232 ports. On a standard PC serial port without 5V, use a Zebra RS-232 cable that takes an external power supply instead.

What's in the Box

  • 1 × Zebra RS-232 cable, Nixdorf Beetle, 5V direct power, 2 m (7 ft) straight (as described)
  • No power supply or scanner is included

What It Means in Practice

  • One cable for data and power on Beetle tills: plug the modular end into the scanner and the other end into the Beetle's powered RS-232 port.
  • No mains adapter on the counter, so fewer cables and one less part to fail.
  • The scanner must be set to RS-232 with the settings your POS software expects (baud rate, parity) — Zebra's scanner guide has the setup barcodes.
  • Straight 2 m lead reaches from the scanning position to a till under the counter.

What Will Not Work

  • It will not power the scanner from a standard PC COM port that has no 5V on the port.
  • It is not a USB cable — for USB hosts use CBA-U21-S07ZBR.
  • Not for IBM 46xx or keyboard-wedge POS ports.
  • Older Symbol LS-series scanners such as the LS1203 use different cables.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a power supply?
Not on a Nixdorf Beetle with a 5V powered port. The cable takes 5V directly from the POS.
Is this the same as CBA-R08-S07ZAR?
It replaces it. Zebra discontinued the ZAR version in 2019; the ZBR adds improved TTL current-limit protection.
Will it work on a normal PC COM port?
Only if that port supplies 5V. Most PC serial ports do not, so you would need a Zebra RS-232 cable used with an external power supply. Send us your POS model and we will pick the right one.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
On Nixdorf Beetle tills this is the cleanest scanner connection: data and power over one lead, no adapter under the counter. The only real mistake is buying it for a generic PC serial port. If your till has free USB ports, USB is usually the easier route — see our cables range for other counter cabling.
✓ Buy it if Buy it if you connect a Zebra DS2208, DS9908 or similar scanner to a Wincor Nixdorf Beetle POS by RS-232.
✕ Skip it if Skip it if your POS is a standard PC, uses USB, or has an unpowered serial port.
→ Also consider Also consider CBA-U21-S07ZBR, Zebra's 7 ft shielded USB Series A cable, if your POS has a USB port.
