Printer & Robot Housing

Printer enclosure with integrated 24 V DC 1.5 A passive PoE supply.

A purpose-built printer housing that takes a Zebra or Argox label printer and runs it as a passive-PoE-powered network device. Built-in 24 V DC 1.5 A passive PoE supply means a single Cat-5/Cat-6 run from the rack delivers both power and data — no separate mains adapter at the printer location.

Key features

Houses standard Zebra or Argox label printers — drop-in fit for common packhouse models

Built-in 24 V DC 1.5 A passive PoE power supply

Single Cat-5/Cat-6 run from the rack delivers both power and data

Eliminates the wall adapter at the printer location — fewer cables, fewer points of failure

Pairs with the Rack Power Supply for centralised cabinet power

Industrial enclosure designed for packhouse-floor environments

Applications

Carton & pallet labelling stations — clean, powered printer install at every label point

Mobile / relocatable label points — move the housing on a single Cat-cable run

New deployments — printers commissioned in line with the rest of the network

Retrofits — replace ad-hoc printer mounts and remove mains adapters from the floor

How it works

The housing accepts a standard Zebra or Argox label printer and connects to a passive-PoE source — typically the Rack Power Supply — over a single Cat-5/Cat-6 run. The integrated 24 V DC 1.5 A power supply inside the housing converts the PoE feed into the voltage and current the printer needs, and the same cable carries the printer’s network connection back to the cabinet.

The result is a clean, single-cable install: no mains adapter at the printer location, no separate power cable to manage, and a printer that joins the network with the same cable infrastructure as the Robot terminals around it.

Why it matters

Label printers tend to live wherever cartons get packed — which is rarely next to a tidy rack. The Printer & Robot Housing means the only thing you need to run to a printer location is a single Ethernet cable; everything else stays in the cabinet, where it can be powered, switched, and serviced as one unit.
