The Jian Boland USB Fingerprint Reader is architected as a specialized biometric dongle equipped with a 5ft extension cable. This design choice facilitates the placement of the capacitive sensor on a monitor or desk surface, thereby reducing the physical leverage on the primary USB port. Performance data indicates sub-1.0s matching speeds within the Windows 10 and 11 ecosystems.
Hardware auditing identifies a 360-degree capacitive touch sensor. While the device utilizes the Windows Update Catalog for driver acquisition, systems operating in offline or restricted environments may require manual driver injection. The physical build is standard grade polymer, optimized for a zero-profile mounting footprint that does not obstruct adjacent peripherals.
- Connectivity: USB-A with 5ft high-gauge extension.
- Sensor Architecture: 360-degree capacitive array.
- Compatibility: Windows Biometric Framework (WBF) dependent.
Technical analysis highlights that performance degrades significantly if the sensor surface is contaminated with oils or moisture. Consistent 5V power delivery is required to maintain the "Hello" sensor availability during system wake-from-sleep cycles.
If the 5ft cable is unnecessary for your configuration, the ARCANITE USB Fingerprint Reader provides an identical 0.05s matching sensor in a standalone dongle format.
Within the broader spectrum of usb fingerprint readers, this unit provides a distinct advantage for desktop ergonomic integration.
