Cipherlab A2500SCBSU0T1 Bluetooth Barcode Scanner USB Kit

Cipherlab A2500SCBSU0T1 1D Linear Imager Barcode Scanner

Overview

The Cipherlab A2500SCBSU0T1 is a handheld 1D linear imager barcode scanner designed for warehouse, logistics, and retail environments requiring reliable data capture across multiple barcode formats. This USB kit includes a tether plate for secure device mounting and connectivity, making it suitable for fixed-position scanning stations, mobile carts, and counter-mounted operations. The scanner delivers consistent read performance across a wide range of barcode sizes and print qualities, with IP65 ruggedness to withstand warehouse conditions.

Key Features

• 1D Linear Imager Scan Engine: Captures linear barcode data with 3 mil resolution minimum, suitable for standard Code 39, UPC/EAN, and industrial symbologies without 2D capability requirements
• High Scan Rate: 578 scans per second enables rapid throughput in high-volume environments, reducing operator wait times and improving productivity
• Extended Scan Range: Code 39 3 mil reads 3–10 cm, Code 39 20 mil reads 1.5–60 cm, and UPC/A 13 mil reads 0.5–38 cm, accommodating both close-range and distance scanning workflows
• Auto-Sense and Continuous Scan Modes: Flexible scanning patterns support variable operational workflows, from hands-free continuous mode for fixed stations to trigger-based on-demand scanning
• IP65 Dust and Moisture Rating: Fully sealed against dust ingress and water spray, protecting the scanner in wet dock areas, refrigerated environments, and outdoor loading zones
• Bluetooth Wireless Connectivity: Eliminates tether length limitations while the USB tether plate option provides alternative hard-wired integration for secure mounting and permanent installation
• Broad Symbology Support: Reads Code 39, Code 128, UPC/EAN, GS1-128, Code 93, Interleave 2 of 5, Industrial 2 of 5, Codabar, ISBT-128, MSI, Plessey, Telepen, and more—compatible with existing barcode infrastructure
• Minimum 15% Print Contrast Tolerance: Reliable reads on faded, worn, or low-contrast barcodes common in high-turnover retail and logistics operations
• Black and White Housing Options: Choose color matching warehouse systems and branding standards

Connectivity and Integration

The A2500SCBSU0T1 integrates via Bluetooth for wireless mobility or USB cable connection through the included tether plate for fixed-position installations. The tether plate enables mounting to counters, workbenches, or custom brackets, making the scanner suitable for packing stations, receiving desks, and point-of-sale environments. Bluetooth operation supports multiple simultaneous connections and works with standard Windows, Mac, and Linux hosts via Bluetooth adapters or integrated wireless modules.

Karl Wilson

The Cipherlab A2500SCBSU0T1 is a straightforward 1D scanner that performs well in warehouse and logistics settings where barcode formats remain linear and read distances are predictable. During integration planning, I've found this scanner fits naturally into existing infrastructure that already supports Code 39, Code 128, and UPC standards—no surprises with unsupported formats or learning curves.

Technical Highlights:

• Scan Rate Performance: At 578 scans/second, the A2500SCBSU0T1 delivers sufficient throughput for busy receiving and packing operations without bottlenecks during peak hours.
• Range Versatility: The 60 cm maximum read distance on 20 mil Code 39 accommodates both close-proximity handheld scanning and shelf-mounted applications where barcodes sit slightly out of arm's reach.

Deployment Considerations:

• IP65 ruggedness is meaningful in dock areas and freezer sections—I've deployed similar-rated scanners in spray-down environments without reliability issues.
• The Bluetooth + USB tether plate dual option removes guesswork: choose wireless for mobile workflows or USB for permanent counter mounting. Don't leave the tether plate decision to the last minute during rollout.

The A2500SCBSU0T1 is a reliable pick when your barcode estate is 1D-only and your deployment mixes fixed and mobile stations. Plan for standard host driver setup and verify your existing barcode format compatibility before bulk purchasing.
