LF40C is a Brooks Automation LF40C THR low-frequency RFID reader documented in FCC equipment authorization records under FCC ID N5GLF40C. The official product manual identifies LF40C THR as an industrial built-in reader for reading and writing transponders, with documented TLH-U2K cable variants. Stored Sonisys auction records match two of those TLH-U2K variants and are retained for identity, configuration, and historical price context only
Configurations vary. Verify the exact unit before choosing a replacement.
