The Zebra FX9600 is an industrial-grade fixed UHF RFID reader, purpose-built for high-volume and high-density tracking in demanding environments like distribution centers, manufacturing lines, and retail sorting hubs. Available in 4 or 8 antenna-port configurations, it delivers lightning-fast scanning across a large coverage area—perfect for asset-intensive workflows.
Drive operational efficiency with a premium Texas Instruments 600 MHz processor and generous memory (512 MB Flash, 256 MB DRAM), providing the speed and stability necessary for data-intensive RFID applications. Seamless integration is at your fingertips via Gigabit Ethernet, USB Host/Client, optional serial, and isolated GPIO ports—while PoE/PoE+ support enables power and data delivery over a single cable, further reducing installation complexity.
Designed to thrive in tough environments, the FX9600 features a sealed IP53 housing, withstanding dust, humidity, and fluctuating temperatures. Equipped with reverse-polarity TNC antenna connectors, ultra-sensitive RF reception (down to –86 dBm), and configurable transmit power up to 33 dBm, this reader delivers industry-leading range and accuracy—even in harsh industrial setups.
For ease-of-use, it supports Zebra’s FX Connect configuration tool, as well as standard .NET, C, and Java SDKs, so deployment and backend integration is fast, flexible, and scalable.
