SKU: 

DS3608-HP20003VZWW

The DS3608-HP20003VZWW connects via cable — RS232 and USB — and reads 1D and 2D barcodes at distances up to 7 ft./2.1 m using an area imager sensor. Symbology support spans Code 39, Code 128, Code 93, Codabar/NW7, Code 11, UPC/EAN, GS1 DataBar, and I 2 of 5 on the 1D side, while 2D coverage includes PDF417, DataMatrix, QR Code, Aztec, MaxiCode, and Chinese Sensible (Han Xin). OCR-A/B, MICR-E13B, and US Currency Serial Number extend capture beyond barcodes to documents and forms. The scanner ships in Industrial Green and weighs 10.90 oz, with a handheld chassis measuring 7.3 in tall, 3 in wide, and 5.2 in deep. Part of the 3600 series, it is positioned for warehouse and manufacturing floor environments where corded operation and broad symbology coverage are priorities. The USB cable is sold separately.

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.
