The Zebra ZBK-ET8X-SMARTCARD-01 expansion back panel is an original accessory designed specifically for the rugged Zebra ET80 and ET85 series tablets. This component serves as a replacement for the standard battery cover and is attached to the back of the device using screws. Its main task is to strengthen the security aspects of working with data and enable the reading of chip cards, which is crucial for organizations that require a high level of protection for access to sensitive information.
Thanks to the integrated CAC (Common Access Card) card reader, users can easily and securely verify their identity directly on the tablet. This feature is ideal for government institutions, security forces, and companies with strict two-factor authentication protocols. The panel also provides space for installing an optional auxiliary Powerpack battery, which enables hot-swapping and thus ensures uninterrupted operation of the device even during long shifts. The auxiliary battery is not included in the package and must be purchased separately; however, the expansion panel itself is ready for its immediate deployment.
This accessory is an ideal choice for field workers, logistics, or manufacturing personnel who need a reliable and secure access management solution.
The robust construction meets Zebra tablet durability standards and ensures that the device remains functional even in demanding conditions. Investing in this expansion panel increases the overall value of your mobile equipment and adapts it to the specific needs of your organization in the areas of cybersecurity and data availability.
