Description

Zebra DS3608-HP20003VZWW Rugged Industrial Scanner

Overview

The Zebra DS3608-HP20003VZWW is a corded, ultra-rugged 2D imager engineered for demanding warehouse and manufacturing environments. It captures 1D and 2D barcodes from near contact up to 5 feet (1.5 meters), ensuring rapid data acquisition for inventory management and order fulfillment. Its construction is designed to withstand punishing conditions, minimizing downtime and maximizing workforce productivity.

Compatibility

This scanner is designed to integrate with various host systems via its corded interface. While specific model compatibility is broad, it is intended for use with industrial PCs, mobile computers, and other data capture terminals common in warehouse automation and manufacturing execution systems (MES). It is not designed for direct integration with IP camera systems or network video recorders.

Installation Notes

The DS3608-HP20003VZWW is built to survive 8 ft./2.4 m drops to concrete and operates reliably after 5,000 tumbles. Its sealed design and rugged construction mean it can handle extreme industrial conditions without requiring special protective enclosures. Standard USB or RS-232 interfaces are typically used for connection, depending on the host system's requirements.
