Magnetic stripe reader mini-dock

This Panasonic CF-VCRU11U accessory adds a magnetic stripe reader to the Toughbook U1 through a dedicated mini-dock connector. It functions as a port replicator that extends the tablet's input capabilities for card-based transactions.

Field staff needing on-the-spot card reading

Mobile workers who must swipe payment or ID cards directly on the Toughbook U1 will find this mini-dock useful. Users of other Toughbook models or devices without the proprietary mini-dock interface cannot use this accessory.

Single mini-dock connector

The unit provides exactly one proprietary mini-dock connector that mates with the Toughbook U1 and one integrated magnetic stripe reader. No other ports or interfaces are included, so compatibility depends entirely on the presence of that specific dock socket.

Questions about this item

Does the CF-VCRU11U replace the U1's own port replicator or sit alongside it?

The mini-dock attaches to the Toughbook U1's dedicated Mini-Dock connector, adding a magnetic stripe reader without occupying the main port replicator interface.

Will the magnetic stripe reader draw power from the U1 or need its own supply?

Power is supplied through the U1's Mini-Dock connector, so the reader operates without an external adapter or separate cable.

What does the Mini-Dock connector limit in terms of data throughput for the stripe reader?

The Mini-Dock interface is designed for peripheral add-ons such as this reader; its bandwidth is sufficient for magnetic-stripe transaction data.
