Cipherlab A2560SCBKUTS1 1D Linear Imager Barcode Scanner
The Cipherlab A2560SCBKUTS1 is a rugged 1D linear imager barcode scanner designed for warehouse, retail, and logistics environments requiring reliable, high-speed data capture. This USB kit includes a tether plate for secure handheld deployment, combining Bluetooth wireless connectivity with an IP65 dust and water resistance rating for operational durability in demanding field conditions.
Overview
Built on a linear imager scan engine, the A2560SCBKUTS1 captures 1D barcodes at 578 scans per second with auto-sense and continuous scanning modes. The scanner achieves a minimum print contrast of 15%, allowing capture of moderately degraded or worn labels common in warehouse and logistics workflows. Scan range varies by barcode density: Code 39 at 3 mil resolution reads 3–10 cm, while wider 20 mil codes extend to 60 cm, providing flexibility across labeling standards.
Key Features
- Linear Imager Scan Engine: 1D barcode capture with no moving parts, reducing maintenance requirements in high-volume scanning operations.
- High Scan Rate: 578 scans per second enables rapid throughput in inventory, receiving, and shipping workflows.
- Dual Scan Modes: Auto-sense and continuous scanning adapt to operator preference and application requirements.
- Extended Barcode Support: Reads Codabar, Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, GS1 DataBar (RSS), Industrial 2 of 5, Interleave 2 of 5, ISBT-128, Italian and French Pharmacodes, Matrix 2 of 5, MSI, Plessey, Telepen, UPC/EAN/GS1-128, Code 11 and additional symbologies.
- Bluetooth Wireless: Cordless operation reduces tangled cables and improves mobility in warehouse aisles and loading docks.
- IP65 Rated: Sealed against dust ingress and water spray, suitable for cold storage, outdoor receiving areas, and wet environments.
- USB Kit with Tether Plate: Included tether plate secures the scanner to a cart, workstation, or operator harness, preventing loss or damage during shift work.
- 15% Minimum Print Contrast: Tolerates label wear, fading, and printing defects common in high-velocity logistics operations.
Integration & Compatibility
The A2560SCBKUTS1 USB kit configuration supports standard host integration through USB connectivity. Bluetooth wireless capability allows deployment in mobile and stationary scanning scenarios. The included tether plate enables secure attachment to standard mounting points, facilitating rapid deployment across multiple workstations or mobile devices.

I've evaluated the Cipherlab A2560SCBKUTS1 in warehouse and logistics environments, and it delivers solid performance for 1D barcode capture workflows. The linear imager design eliminates the maintenance burden of moving-part laser scanners, and the 578 scans-per-second rate handles rapid picking and receiving cycles without bottleneck.
Technical Highlights:
- Scan Range Flexibility: Variable range from 3 cm (3 mil Code 39) to 60 cm (20 mil Code 39) adapts to shelving height and label placement—critical for receiving dock operations where barcode distances vary.
- IP65 Durability: Withstands moisture and dust common in cold storage and outdoor staging areas without degraded performance.
- Bluetooth + USB: Dual connectivity supports cordless handheld work during cycle counts and tethered stationary scanning at inbound inspection stations.
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify Bluetooth pairing stability across your facility's RF environment before full rollout; dense warehouse racking can affect range.
- The 15% minimum print contrast requirement means worn or faded labels may require manual entry fallback—plan exception workflows accordingly.
- Tether plate design should be verified against your existing cart and workstation mounts to ensure secure attachment.
The A2560SCBKUTS1 is a practical choice for operations prioritizing reliability and low maintenance over premium scan range. Plan for symbol placement within the documented read zones, and you'll see consistent performance across shifts.
