InLine USB fingerprint scanner with hub, Windows Hello compatible, 1.5 m cable, black

The InLine USB fingerprint scanner with integrated USB hub is a compact biometric device designed for Windows systems that support Windows Hello. Supplied with a 1.5 m cable and finished in black, this scanner enables biometric authentication for secure login and user verification without requiring additional peripheral software. The built-in hub provides extra USB connectivity at the workstation while keeping the fingerprint sensor easily accessible on the desktop.

Advantages

This fingerprint scanner combines biometric security and convenience: it allows fast, password-free access using Windows Hello, reduces the need for typed credentials, and contributes to improved workstation security. The integrated USB hub expands a single USB connection into additional ports, simplifying cable management and allowing connection of other peripherals. The 1.5 m cable provides flexibility in device placement and the black housing integrates unobtrusively into professional environments.

Suitable for

• Office workstations that use Windows Hello for user authentication
• Environment where quick user switching or single sign-on is required
• Small business or shared computers requiring identity verification for access control
• Setups that benefit from an extra USB port near the desk

When it may not be suitable

This device is intended for systems that support Windows Hello. It may not function as intended on operating systems or older Windows versions without Windows Hello support or the appropriate biometric drivers. Environments that require high-security enterprise biometric systems with centralized management, auditing or bespoke integration may need a more feature-rich solution.

Key specifications

• Interface: USB (host connection and hub ports)
• Sensor type: optical/electronic fingerprint sensor for biometric authentication
• Cable length: 1.5 m
• Color: black
• Compatibility: designed for Windows systems supporting Windows Hello

How to use

Connect the scanner to an available USB port on your Windows PC using the supplied 1.5 m cable. Windows should detect the device and integrate it with Windows Hello; follow the operating system prompts to register fingerprints through Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options. Once a fingerprint is registered, use the scanner to authenticate and unlock the system. The hub ports can be used to connect other USB peripherals; ensure devices attached to the hub are within the host power and bandwidth limits.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the target PC runs a Windows version with Windows Hello support
• Confirm available USB ports and whether additional hubs are needed for power-hungry devices
• Assess whether centralized management or enterprise biometric features are required
• Ensure physical placement and cable length (1.5 m) fit your workstation layout

Usage recommendations

Place the scanner on a stable, flat part of the desk within comfortable reach. Register several fingerprints (e.g., index fingers of both hands) to improve recognition options, and keep the sensor surface clean from oils or debris to maintain reliable reads. For multiple users on one device, maintain individual Windows user accounts and register fingerprints per account via Windows Hello.
