FX9600 Fixed UHF RFID Reader

Top of the line performance

High RF sensitivity for superior performance and efficiency

The faster and more accurately you can receive, inventory, pick and ship, the more efficient and profitable your operation can be. The FX9600’s eight highly sensitive monostatic RF ports provide the exceptionally high RF sensitivity required to deliver the greatest accuracy and longer read ranges. The result is the highest throughput in this class — even in the densest RF environments with challenging materials, such as metal or liquids.

Most power in its class

With a best-in-class processor and expanded memory, the FX9600 offers the power needed to support very high traffic throughput and sophisticated software applications.

Unrivaled deployment simplicity

Parse data at the edge with embedded applications

The FX9600 can host embedded applications, so data can be parsed directly on the reader. Since data is processed in real time at the network edge, the amount of data transmitted to your backend servers is substantially reduced, increasing network bandwidth and improving network performance. Latencies are reduced, improving application performance. And the integration of data into a wide variety of middleware applications is simplified, reducing deployment time and cost.

Easy, low-cost deployment with support for PoE and PoE+

Eliminate the time and cost required to run power drops to each reader with support for PoE (802.3af) or PoE+ (802.3at). And either PoE+ or a 24V power supply provide industry-best full output power, eliminating the loss of power due to long cable runs and connectors. You get maximum tag reads, maximum read ranges and the maximum RFID performance required to get coverage you need with fewer readers.

Directly connect to Wi-Fi™ networks and Bluetooth®-enabled devices

The FX9600 supports a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth dongle for direct wireless connectivity to your Wi-Fi network, as well as Bluetooth-enabled computers and other devices. There’s no need for hard-wired connections to the access point.

Compact, streamlined layout

A streamlined layout with all cabling and input/output ports located on one side simplifies deployment and management.

MotionWorks Enterprise RFID Reader Management

With RFID Reader Management, you can easily deploy and manage a network of Zebra passive RFID readers. Fully compatible with our current portfolio of devices in this category, RFID Reader Management allows you to configure and monitor the status of every cloud-ready Zebra RFID reader in your system from one consolidated application, without requiring multiple tools to manage different types of readers.

IoT Connector

With IoT Connector, you can gather data from cloud-capable edge devices in a simple, consistent manner. Use the information and insights gained to make decisions in real time. Developed as a standard feature of our barcode scanners and RFID readers, IoT Connector is simple to configure—no coding required—and uses standard protocols within the Internet of Things.

Industry best TCO

Rugged design for tough environments

An extremely durable diecast aluminum housing and IP53 sealing deliver the durability you need to ensure uptime — even in damp, dusty work areas, extreme heat or subzero temperatures.

More read points per reader

In addition to a four-port model, the FX9600 comes in an eight-port model, enabling you to cover more dock doors and portals with fewer readers — significantly lowering your initial investment, as well as deployment and management time and costs.

Rugged mobile mount for use in forklifts and more

The rugged mobile mount brings the benefits of RFID to forklifts, other warehouse material handling vehicles, as well as other rugged environments where vehicles do not have rubber inflatable wheels. By installing the FX9600 on a forklift, drivers can ensure that the right item is going to the right place — and that the right items are picked for the right order. The universal mount offers a wide range of mounting options anywhere on the vehicle, while vibration and shock dampening capabilities ensure maximum uptime in your most rugged applications.

Optional 4G LTE cellular modem with GPS capabilities

An optional 4G LTE modem with GPS enables you to extend RFID to the field. For example, with an FX9600 installed in a delivery truck, you can automatically verify package pick up and delivery or track Returnable Transport Objects (RTOs) such as bakery trays and commercial laundry. The integrated GPS provides the exact location where RFID tags are read – giving you complete visibility into when and where a package or asset was placed or received.

Get the most out of your RFID investment — from the leader in RFID

Zebra has more fixed, handheld and portal RFID systems installed than any other RFID provider, giving you the peace of mind that comes from choosing RFID products that are well-tested in practically every industry — and in some of the world’s largest companies. And with over 300 RFID technology patents that have allowed us to deliver many industry firsts, you can count on our best-in-class advanced technologies to maximize the performance of your RFID solution.
