USB-5EC

A DIVISION OF TRIMBLE USB Plus+ RFID Reader World-class UHF RFID Desktop Reader The ThingMagic USB Plus+ RFID Reader is ideal for applications that require reading and writing of EPC Global Gen2 tags on a desk or workstation and in areas where space is limited. The USB Plus+ is controlled and powered by a host PC or laptop through a USB interface and is compatible with ThingMagic’s application development tools, permitting rapid creation of RFID solutions. With a software adjustable read distance up to 3 ft (0.91 m), the USB Plus+ supports a variety of applications, including RFID tag commissioning, manufacturing WIP, document tracking, library book check in/out, retail point of sale, event and hospitality services, hospital patient workflows, and more. The high-performance internal antenna of the USB Plus+ is also ideal for commissioning high memory tags and reading small form factor RFID tags more effectively.
