Honeywell Hyperion 1300g Corded 1D Linear Imaging Barcode Scanner Black Scanner Only No Cable 1300G-2-N

End of life. Honeywell has discontinued the Hyperion 1300g in September 2025, with end of service in December 2028. The replacement is the Honeywell Voyager XP 1470g corded 1D/2D scanner. Remaining Hyperion 1300g stock is sold for fleet matching, replacement units and validated workflows where requalifying a new model is not practical.

Key Features

• 1D linear imaging scanner built for light-industrial duty rather than counter use.
• Reads up to 270 scans per second with a 3.0 mil minimum element width.
• Reads standard 1D and GS1 DataBar. As a linear imager it does not read 2D codes.
• Works in ambient light up to 70,000 lux, which includes direct sunlight through a dock door.
• Reads a 20 mil code out to 660 mm (26 in), so a pallet placard does not need reaching for.
• Engineered for 50 drops onto concrete from 1.5 m, not a single survival drop.
• Host powered over the cable, so there is no battery to charge and no power supply to site.
• Multi-interface body: RS-232, Keyboard Wedge and USB, with the cable deciding which is active.
• Supports Honeywell Remote MasterMind for configuration and management across a fleet.
• Light at 160 g, so a full shift of handheld scanning does not build up wrist fatigue.
• SCANNER ONLY: no cable is supplied, and the cable is what sets the interface.
• Backed by a five-year Honeywell factory warranty.

What Is Included

1300G-2-N ships as a SCANNER ONLY. There is no cable in the box, and on this family the cable is not an accessory but the component that decides whether the scanner presents as USB, Keyboard Wedge or RS-232. Without one it cannot connect to anything at all. There is no power supply in either case and none is needed on USB or Keyboard Wedge, because the scanner draws its power from the host. Sites that already stock Honeywell cables, or that need a non-USB interface, buy this part deliberately; anyone building a station from nothing should order a USB kit part number instead.

Linear Imaging

The Hyperion 1300g is a linear imager, which puts it between a laser and an area imager. Like a laser it reads only 1D barcodes and GS1 DataBar, so no QR codes, no Data Matrix and nothing off a phone screen. Unlike a laser it has no moving mirror, which is why Honeywell rates it for 50 drops onto concrete from 1.5 metres rather than a single survival drop, and why it tolerates ambient light up to 70,000 lux including direct sunlight. Those two figures are what make it a light-industrial scanner rather than a counter one.

Read Range

Depth of field runs from 50 to 200 mm on a 5 mil code, 10 to 460 mm on 13 mil, and 30 to 660 mm on 20 mil, so the working envelope is roughly a centimetre out to about two feet depending on how big the code is. In practice that means a warehouse operator can read a large pallet placard without walking up to it, while still reading a small dense label held close. Motion tolerance is 20 inches per second, so codes can be swept rather than lined up. Note the maximum is 660 mm, not the metre some listings claim.

Lifecycle and Replacement

Honeywell has placed the Hyperion 1300g on its discontinued products list, with an end-of-build date of September 2025, a last renewal date of December 2025 and end of service in December 2028. The named replacement is the Voyager XP 1470g. It is worth knowing that the 1470g is an area imager rather than a linear one, so it is an upgrade rather than a like-for-like swap: it reads everything the 1300g reads plus 2D codes and codes on screens. Remaining 1300g stock suits fleet matching and spares where an existing configuration is working and should not be disturbed.

Ordering Notes

Part number 1300G-2-N is the black housing with NO cable, assembled in Mexico. Mexico is a TAA-designated country, which makes this the build to quote on US federal, state and GSA business. On this family the first numeric segment sets housing colour, 1 for ivory and 2 for black, and the presence of USB in the code is what tells you a cable is included. Neither is visible from the model name, so confirm the exact part number against the requirement before ordering.

For warehouse, manufacturing, receiving and light-industrial operations that scan 1D barcodes in tough conditions, the Honeywell Hyperion 1300g 1300G-2-N remains a durable and well-supported choice while stock lasts. Contact us to learn more or secure this solution for your business today.
