CAEN - Lepton-x1 USB

When compact design, fast system integration, and high RF performance must be combined in a single component, modern UHF | RAIN - RFID solutions based on USB connectivity provide a decisive advantage. The CAEN RFID Lepton x1 USB series has been developed precisely for these requirements and represents a new generation of professional RFID Reader Modules for OEM and embedded applications. Available as Lepton3x1 USB, Lepton7x1 USB, and Lepton9x1 USB, these modules offer scalable performance levels while maintaining an ultra-compact footprint. As a high-quality CAEN RFID Reader Module, the Lepton x1 USB family enables manufacturers and system integrators to implement powerful RFID functionality directly into their own devices, without the complexity of additional interface boards. This makes the modules an ideal choice for companies seeking a reliable RFID OEM Reader or UHF OEM Reader for industrial-grade products and long-term platforms.

At the core of the Lepton x1 USB series is a proven high-performance RF architecture based on Impinj RAIN RFID chipsets. Depending on the selected variant, the modules utilize the Impinj E310, E710, or E910, allowing precise alignment between RF performance, power consumption, and application requirements. With a programmable output power of up to 30 dBm, these UHF RFID OEM Reader modules are capable of achieving read ranges beyond 10 meters under optimal conditions. High receiver sensitivity ensures stable and accurate tag detection even in dense tag populations or challenging RF environments. As a professional CAEN UHF Reader, the Lepton x1 USB series delivers fast inventory cycles, reliable tag identification, and consistent performance, making it well suited for industrial automation, asset tracking, quality assurance, and real-time material flow monitoring. These characteristics position the modules among the most versatile RFID Reader solutions in their class.

Ease of integration is a central design principle of the Lepton x1 USB family. The native USB Type-C interface with Virtual COM Port functionality enables direct power supply and data communication via a single connection, significantly reducing development effort and time to market. This streamlined architecture is particularly advantageous for rapid prototyping, pilot installations, and series production of compact devices. Thanks to their low power consumption, the modules are suitable for battery-powered and remotely deployed systems, while their small dimensions support integration into handheld devices, smart accessories, and space-constrained enclosures. The MMCX antenna connector provides flexibility in antenna selection and placement, allowing RF performance to be optimized according to housing design and environmental conditions. As an integration-friendly RFID Reader Module, the Lepton x1 USB series supports developers throughout the entire product lifecycle.
