Supported Hardware
Desktop RFID Readers
Compact desktop readers for check-in desks, service counters, issue points, and controlled read/write workflows.
Discuss this hardware categoryLedger workflow fit
Check-in and check-out desks with consistent operator-led scanning.
Issue, encode, or verify workflows that benefit from a controlled read distance.
Reception, membership, and attendance-style workflows integrated with a workstation.
Category Overview
Where this category fits in Ledger
Desktop RFID readers are a strong fit when Ledger is used from a fixed workstation. They work well for service-desk interactions, controlled issue and return processes, and environments where operators need a predictable read zone tied closely to a workstation or terminal.
Compatibility notes
Best fit for Ledger workflows that run from a fixed station rather than mobile scanning.
Useful where integration into a workstation process is more important than broad-range read performance.
Suitable for front-desk operations, tag verification, and controlled asset handover points.
Capability
Useful for controlled reads where accuracy and predictable read range matter more than mobility.
Capability
Supports workflows that involve keyboard emulation, serial output, or workstation-based integration.
Capability
Good fit for organisations that want Ledger connected to front-desk or service-counter operations.
In Scope
Initial supported devices
These devices are included in the first pass of the supported-hardware section. The intent is to make it easier to understand the kinds of hardware Ledger can work alongside, not to present exhaustive integration documentation.
Chafon
CF601 UHF Desktop Reader Writer
A compact USB desktop reader/writer aimed at close-range workstation workflows and operator-led asset processing.
USB read/write mode, virtual serial output, and keyboard emulation output.
Supports Wiegand 26/34 output for integration scenarios.
Indicative read distance of 0 to 50 cm depending on tag and environment.
Utilised by the Ledger Desktop Software for fixed-station asset processing workflows.
Chafon
CF-RU5202 UHF Desktop Reader Writer
A desktop UHF reader positioned for controlled workstation use with longer close-range coverage and HID-style interaction.
Reading distance up to 100 cm in suitable conditions.
HID keyboard emulation for simple workstation-oriented input patterns.
Utilised by the Ledger Desktop Software for fixed-station asset processing workflows.
