Empower Your Workers
Next Generation Connectivity
With the new eConnex™ technology that allows for snap-and-go pairing, you can future-proof your workplace with a sled that supports the latest Zebra mobile computers including WWAN-enabled variants. What’s more, the sleds can connect instantly to supported Zebra eConnex™-enabled devices including the TC21/26, EC50/55 and future models.
Wireless Functionality
Integrated Wi-Fi 6 capability in the RFD40 Premium and Premium Plus Sleds allows for easy over-the-air (OTA) device management, while Bluetooth 5.3 and NFC tap-to-pair make it easier than ever to connect to current and future Zebra mobile computers and third-party smartphones.
Integrated Barcode Scanner
Available only in the RFD40 Premium Plus Sled, an integrated SE4100 imager provides 1D and 2D scanning functionality for the most challenging barcodes—including poorly printed, damaged, dirty, crinkled, low-contrast, glossy and electronic barcodes on dimly lit mobile phone displays.
Unparalleled Efficiency
The RFD40 UHF RFID Premium and Premium Plus Sleds outperform the competition with 1,300+ tag reads per second (up to 30% faster than the next leading competitor), a 20+ foot read range, and ultra-accurate item-finder mode. With a 7,000 mAh battery and a quick-release function that’s accessible without removing the mobile computer, it keeps going hour after hour. The tri-function trigger lets associates quickly access RFID reading, barcode scanning and a programmable third function of your choice, such as the enter key or push-to-talk.
Remarkable Versatility
An adaptor compatible with the OtterBox uniVERSE ecosystem allows customers to easily slide on and slide off a wide variety of smartphones running Android™ and iOS operating systems.

Adaptive Solutions
RFD40 Premium and Premium Plus Sleds are fully enabled to support Zebra’s current mobile computers and smartphones, as well as new mobile computers and third-party smartphones as they come out. Easy-to-change, tool-free sled adaptors allow associates to swap out an adaptor quickly while maintaining compatibility without needing to send devices to IT for retrofitting.
Durability You Can Depend On
Zebra devices have the ability to withstand everyday environments. RFD40 Sleds have a five-foot drop-to-concrete specification and a 500 cycle 0.5 meter/1.6 foot tumble specification to replicate real-world knocks and bumps. They have IP54 sealing for dust and water protection, and an extended operating temperature range of -10°C to 50°C/14°F to 122°F. With these durable specifications, you can feel confident that RFD40 Sleds will meet the demanding needs of your workplace.
Flexible and Future-Proof Charging
Charging solutions for RFD40 Sleds provide users a flexible way to power up the sled and mobile computer in a variety of ways. Featuring two sets of charging pins, each cradle cup can charge an RFD40 Sled by itself, the mobile computer by itself, or a combination of RFD40 Sled and mobile computer when attached together. Cradle cups are available for each combination of RFD40 Sled and mobile computer, including TC21/26 and EC50/55.
A USB-C port on the bottom of the RFD40 Sled, as well as a pinned connector, allows for connecting an RFD40 Sled to a Windows-based PC or other host via a USB-C cable or cable cup, which enables an RFD40 Sled to be used as a tethered RFID reader.
World-Class Development and Enablement Tools
Quickly transition to the latest generation of products without the need for a major application rewrite. The Software Development Kits (SDKs) for RFD40 Premium and Premium Plus Sleds are based on current Zebra RFID handheld SDKs. Only a recompile of the current application with the new SDK is required for you to get up and running on the new RFD40 Sleds.
The RFD40 Premium and Premium Plus Sleds can now connect to 123RFID Desktop via USB cable, cable cup or Bluetooth, so you can configure your sleds live and offline. Use 123RFID Desktop for proofs-of-concept, demos and performing firmware upgrades.
No Host? No Problem!
If a real-time connection to back-end systems is not available, batch mode enables the collection of up to 40,000 RFID tags. Just sync to upload data from RFD40 Sleds to the host device at any time.
Innovative New Cradle Solutions
When you’re ready to upgrade, Zebra’s game-changing cradles were developed so mobile computers can be swapped out with ease. Using just a coin screw, you can make changes without tools or the hassle of plugging or unplugging any wire harnesses, simplifying the experience for all users.
Cradles that support RFD40 Premium and Premium Plus Sleds come in both one-slot and multi-slot options, as well as charge-only and communication variants. For communication support, the one-slot communication cradles have a Micro-USB port for connection to a host PC, while the multi-slot cradles possess an Ethernet port for connection to a corporate network. This connectivity allows you to manage your RFD40 Sleds while in the cradle and also provides the ability to set configuration, push out firmware upgrades, and get device health info, so you get more information about your device with less effort.
Secure Battery Locking Foot
RFD40 Sleds have an optional Battery Locking Foot that locks the battery in place, helping to prevent user damage and/or theft.
