Zebra RFD40 Premium Plus RFID Sled UHF, 1300+ tags/sec, 7000mAh, Bluetooth 5.3, Wi‑Fi 6, SE4100 1D/2D, IP54

The Zebra RFID Sled is a professional UHF handheld sled designed to add enterprise-grade RFID capability to compatible mobile devices for fast inventory, asset tracking and item-finding workflows. Built around Zebra’s proven RFID radio technology, the sled delivers very high tag read rates and a nominal read range suited to retail, warehouse, logistics, field service and healthcare environments. Its rugged construction, IP54 ingress protection, multiple-drop resistance and a removable 7000 mAh Li‑Ion battery support long shifts and demanding daily use, while modern wireless options such as Bluetooth 5.3, Wi‑Fi 6 and USB‑C tethering enable flexible integration into existing mobile ecosystems and simplify deployment and device management.

Key Features

• High-speed RFID capture: Industry-grade read performance (1,100–1,300+ tags/sec depending on variant) accelerates cycle counts and bulk reads to reduce task time.
• Long and consistent read range: Standard circularly polarized antenna delivers nominal read ranges around 6 m (≈20+ ft on long-range variants) for efficient item finding across larger areas.
• Extended battery life: Removable quick‑release 7000 mAh Li‑Ion battery provides sustained operation for extended shifts and supports hot‑swap or quick replacement workflows.
• Modern connectivity: Bluetooth 5.3, Wi‑Fi 6, NFC tap‑to‑pair and USB‑C / tethered pinned connectors enable versatile connections and streamlined pairing with Zebra mobile computers.
• Rugged, enterprise-ready design: IP54 ingress protection, multiple 5 ft / 1.5 m drops to concrete and tumble resistance support reliable daily use in commercial and industrial environments.
