Semi-Transparent IC and RF Card Reader with RS232 Interface
The RCR-2430 IC and RF card reader is a manual-insertion hybrid card reader & writer designed to support both contact IC cards and contactless RF cards. With a stable RS232 interface and industrial-grade construction, it delivers reliable card interaction for access control systems, self-service terminals, and enterprise environments.
Description
Semi-Transparent Housing with Clear Status Indication
The semi-transparent enclosure provides excellent light transmittance, allowing red and green LED indicators to remain highly visible during operation. This intuitive visual feedback improves user interaction while maintaining a clean, modern appearance suitable for both office and public terminal installations.
The scratch-resistant surface minimizes fingerprints and wear, ensuring long-term clarity even under frequent use.
