CipherLab 8600 UHF RFID Snap-on-module

Warehouse and field-service teams using CipherLab 8600 Series mobile computers can add UHF RFID reading by snapping on this module. It reads EPC Class 1 Gen 2 / ISO 18000-6C tags in the 865-868 MHz ETSI band through an integrated circular polarized antenna, with a typical read range up to 1 meter. The module draws power from the host device and includes LED status indicators. Operating temperature range is -20°C to 50°C, storage -30°C to 70°C, humidity 5% to 95% RH non-condensing. It inherits the host device's IP rating, typically IP65.
