CAEN R9104CU Lepton9x4-USB 30dBm 4-Port RAIN RFID Reader Module

The Lepton9x4-USB (Model R9104CU) is an ultra compact size, power-efficient reader from the easy2read© product line, perfect for high-performance RAIN RFID applications. It can read tags from over 5 meters away, depending on the antenna and tag size, with output power ranging from 10 dBm to 30 dBm. Using the Impinj E910 IC, it offers fast reading speeds and works great even in areas with lots of readers and tags. Its high sensitivity makes it perfect for industry-leading dense tag environments. The compact size allows it to fit inside industrial single-antenna readers and other small devices. It works in both European and US regulatory environments, making it versatile for different regions. Designed based on the Lepton9, it’s easy to integrate using connectors instead of the SMD form factor required for automated manufacturing.

What’s the main difference between the Lepton9x4-USB (Model R9104CU) and the Lepton9x4 (Model R9104C)?

The main difference is that the Lepton9x4-USB (Model R9104CU) uses a USB Type-C interface for connection, making it easy to connect using USB, whereas the Lepton9x4 (Model R9104C) focuses on general integration with connectors without a specific mention of USB. Both models are designed for easy integration with connectors and are great for power-efficient RAIN RFID applications.

What’s the main difference between the Lepton9x1-USB (Model R9101CU) and the Lepton9x4-USB (Model R9104CU)?

The big difference between the Lepton9x1-USB and the Lepton9x4-USB is how many antenna ports they have. The Lepton9x1-USB has 1 antenna port, while the Lepton9x4-USB has 4 antenna ports. Both models are designed for low power, high-performance RAIN RFID applications, can read tags from over 2 meters away, and are easy to integrate using connectors. The compact Lepton9x4-USB is perfect for devices needing multiple antennas in a small form factor.

Why USB Type-C?

The addition of USB Type-C connectivity across the new Lepton modules provides several advantages, including:

• Universal Compatibility: Compatible with modern devices.
• Streamlined Integration: Reduced hardware complexity.
• Enhanced Performance: Faster and more reliable data transfer.
