Zebra DS3608-XR CORDED SIEMENS INDUSTRIAL ETHERNET STRAIGHT CABLE KIT - Barcode-Scanner

On a busy manufacturing floor, a logistics operator scans barcodes on parts and pallets from up to 10 meters away, relying on the Zebra DS3608-XR to capture even damaged or poorly printed codes instantly. This corded scanner connects directly to Siemens industrial Ethernet networks via the included straight cable, ensuring reliable data transmission in harsh environments. Built to withstand drops, dust, and moisture, it keeps operations running smoothly in warehouses, distribution centers, and production lines.

Key specifications

• Scanner type: Handheld 2D imager (reads 1D, 2D, and Digimarc barcodes)
• Connectivity: Corded, industrial Ethernet (Siemens compatible), straight cable included
• Scan range: Extended Range (XR) for scanning up to 10 m (32.8 ft) on reflective labels
• Durability: Ultra-rugged, IP67 and IP65 sealed, withstands 2.4 m (8 ft) drops to concrete
• Operating temperature: -30°C to 50°C (-22°F to 122°F)
• Feedback: Beeper, vibration, and direct decode indicator for clear confirmation
• Colour: Industrial green and black
• Power source: Host power via Ethernet (no external power supply needed)

Why choose it

The DS3608-XR is engineered for maximum uptime in demanding industrial settings. Its extended range scanning allows workers to capture barcodes on high shelves or distant pallets without climbing or stretching, improving efficiency and safety. The rugged design resists dust, water, and repeated drops, reducing replacement costs. With native Siemens industrial Ethernet connectivity, integration into existing automation systems is seamless, eliminating the need for additional adapters or converters.

Ideal use cases

• Manufacturing: scanning components and finished goods on assembly lines
• Warehousing: reading barcodes on high racks and incoming shipments
• Logistics: tracking pallets and containers in distribution centers
• Automotive: identifying parts in harsh, oily environments
• Pharmaceutical: verifying labels in cleanrooms with IP67 protection

Good to know

The kit includes the DS3608-XR scanner and a straight industrial Ethernet cable, ready for immediate deployment. The scanner's 2D imager supports all common 1D and 2D symbologies, including Digimarc, ensuring compatibility with existing barcode standards. Its high-visibility aiming pattern and bright illumination enable accurate scanning even in low-light conditions. With a minimum print contrast of 15%, it reads faded or low-contrast barcodes with ease.
