DS3608-HP3U46A2VZW

Dual IP65/IP68 sealing distinguishes the Zebra DS3608-HP3U46A2VZW, a cabled USB barcode scanner kit rated to withstand multiple 8.0 ft/2.4 m drops to concrete across an operating temperature range of -22°F (-30°C) to 122°F (50°C). Its 1280 x 960 imager reads 1D and 2D barcodes at distances up to 80 in, with a 31° horizontal and 23° field of view, 360° roll tolerance, and a minimum print contrast of 15%, resolving DataMatrix elements from 7.5 mil to 10 mil. The scanner handles ambient light up to 108000 lux and carries an air electrostatic discharge rating of 25kV. Symbology support spans Code 39, Code 128, UPC/EAN, PDF417, DataMatrix, QR Code, Aztec, DotCode, and Digimarc digital watermark, among others. The 3100 mAh Li-Ion battery draws 100 mA in standby, and the kit ships with a CBA-U46-S07ZAR High Current Shielded USB Cable, PWR-BGA12V50W0WW Power Supply, and CBL-DC-451A1-01 DC Line Cord. RoHS compliant, the scanner carries a 36-month limited warranty with a 12-month battery warranty.

Description
ico-plus ico-minus
The Zebra DS3608-SR is a corded, ultra-rugged area-imager barcode scanner built for industrial and commercial environments where durability and consistent read performance are non-negotiable. Designed for warehouse, manufacturing, and delivery operations, it captures both 1D and 2D barcodes — including direct part marks — from near contact up to 60" away, even on damaged, dirty, or poorly printed labels. Its IP65- and IP67-rated housing is dustproof, sprayproof, and waterproof, and it withstands multiple 8.0 ft./2.4 m drops to concrete. The scanner connects via USB, serial, Ethernet, or Bluetooth interfaces, integrating cleanly into existing host systems. Operating across -22°F (-30°C) to 122°F (50°C), it performs reliably in extreme environments, including cold storage. A 36-month limited warranty underscores its long-term value for demanding workflows.
