Description

Zebra DS3608-XR3U4602ZVW Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Zebra DS3608-XR3U4602ZVW is a corded, ultra-rugged 1D/2D imager designed for demanding warehouse and manufacturing environments. It provides lightning-fast barcode capture from near contact up to 5 feet (1.5 meters), ensuring high workforce productivity and throughput. This specific kit includes the DS3608-XR scanner and a CBA-U46-S07ZAR shielded USB high-current cable, suitable for environments where durability and reliable data transfer are critical.

Compatibility

This scanner kit is designed to connect via USB to host systems. The included CBA-U46-S07ZAR cable is specifically engineered for Zebra's DS3608-XR series scanners, providing a high-current connection necessary for optimal performance and power delivery. It is compatible with any host system supporting USB HID or USB COM port emulation, common in warehouse management systems (WMS) and manufacturing execution systems (MES).

Installation Notes

The included shielded USB cable (CBA-U46-S07ZAR) supports high current, ensuring the scanner receives adequate power directly from the host USB port without requiring a separate power supply. The scanner itself is built to withstand 8 ft. (2.4 m) drops to concrete and 5,000 tumbles, making it suitable for deployment in punishing conditions. Its rugged design minimizes downtime and replacement costs in harsh operational settings.
