Frequently Asked Questions

What is Redpark and what products does Leading Solutions stock?

Redpark is a specialist manufacturer of connectivity cables and adapters for Apple iOS devices. Leading Solutions stocks Redpark's Lightning and USB-C serial cables, which connect iPads and iPhones to RS-232 serial equipment, as well as PoE adapters that power iOS devices over standard Ethernet cabling. These products are used in logistics, field service, retail, and industrial applications across New Zealand.

What devices are compatible with Redpark serial cables?

Redpark serial cables are designed for Apple iPads and iPhones with Lightning or USB-C connectors. They connect to any RS-232 serial device such as barcode scanners, label printers, test instruments, and legacy POS peripherals. Compatibility with specific iOS devices depends on the connector type - Lightning models suit older iPads and iPhones, while USB-C models suit newer iPad Pro, iPad Air, and iPhone 15 and later.

How does a Redpark PoE adapter work with an iPad?

A Redpark PoE adapter plugs into a standard IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at Power over Ethernet port on a network switch and converts the Ethernet power feed into a Lightning or USB-C output to charge an iPad. This allows the tablet to receive power entirely over the network cable, which is ideal for kiosk, digital signage, and interactive display installations where running separate mains power is not feasible.

Do I need any special apps or drivers to use Redpark serial cables with an iPad?

Redpark serial cables work with iOS apps that support the Redpark SDK or compatible serial communication frameworks. Many industrial and field service applications already include Redpark support. Apple MFi certification on Redpark products ensures the connection is recognised and stable on iOS. Leading Solutions can advise on app compatibility for your specific use case.

Can Redpark products be used in harsh or industrial environments?

Redpark cables are built to commercial-grade standards and are suitable for use in logistics, warehousing, field service, and light-industrial environments. For very harsh conditions, it is advisable to use protective cases alongside Redpark-connected iPads. Contact Leading Solutions for guidance on full ruggedised iOS solutions.

Yes. Volume discounts and wholesale trade accounts are available for integrators, resellers, and organisations deploying Redpark cables across multiple devices or sites. Register as a trade partner with Leading Solutions to access preferential pricing and project support from our Auckland team.
