Barcode Reader Datalogic SD9030-433-A

The Datalogic SD9030-433-A is a compact USB receiver (dongle) that enables wireless communication between PowerScan™ PM9X00 series handheld scanners and any host with a USB port. Acting as a base station when paired with a PM9XXX reader, the SD9030 implements Datalogic's proprietary STAR 2.0 radio system to provide bidirectional communication and the ability to link multiple scanners to the same dongle. The unit features a compact form factor and a universal bracket for easy installation on various support systems, making it suitable where space for a cradle is limited.

Advantages
