Description
The Zebra FX7500 RFID Reader comes in a sleek, attractive form factor with a low profile and compact footprint, at home in nearly any business environment. It also looks good on the balance sheet, with an impressive array of integrated features and functionality that pack value for your business class applications.

EASY TO DEPLOY, SIMPLE TO MANAGE
Installation is simple. Hang the supplied bracket, then snap the reader in place. No outlet nearby? No problem. Integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) lets you place the FX7500 where it is needed without installing extra outlets – ideal for large open areas. Once plugged into the network, devices are auto-detected.
SMART LOOKS, SMART INVESTMENT
The FX7500 comes in a sleek, attractive form factor with a low profile and compact footprint, at home in nearly any business environment. But it also looks good on the balance sheet, with an impressive array of integrated features and functionality that pack value for your business class applications.
BETTER PERFORMANCE. BETTER VALUE.
We created a new RFID radio technology, purposely designed from the ground up for faster, more accurate read rates, and more consistent performance even in challenging environments.
Integrated Power Over Ethernet (POE), Optically Isolated GPIO, USB Client* and Host Ports with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Connectivity
All the tools you need for fast, easy deployment and simplified on-going management of your RFID applications are built right into the FX7500 architecture.
2-Port and 4-Port Reader Configurations
More configuration options mean more flexibility to optimize your read field. Deploy precisely the number of read points you need for proper coverage, no more, no less, and reduce your TCO.
Plenum Area Rated
The FX7500 is approved and suitable for environmental air handling space installation, so it can operate effectively within walls and ceilings.
Support for Worldwide Standards
Supports FCC and ETSI EN 302 208 in either 4-port or 2-port mono-static antenna configurations, EPC standards-based defined reader management, and auto-discovery flexible firmware upgrade features. Seamlessly integrates with existing IT environments; enables remote and centralized management; simplifies and reduces the cost of set-up, deployment, testing and management.
Next Generation Reader Platform, Including Dense Reader Mode Support
Best-in-class read rates deliver superior read performance.
Linux: 512 MB Flash/256 MB RAM
Integration of a wide range of third-party applications for fast application deployment; supports upgrading to meet future requirements; maximizes product lifespan; provides outstanding security and investment protection.
