It covers the full 865 to 928 MHz band in a single broadband element, which means one antenna SKU handles ETSI (865-868 MHz), FCC (902-928 MHz), and other regional UHF allocations without a hardware change — useful if your line ships readers globally or you're stocking a single spare for multiple sites. The PA12 housing with IP65 sealing means this antenna mounts directly in washdown zones, cold storage, or outdoor conveyor gantries without an additional enclosure. Operating range of -25 to +75 °C covers unheated warehouses and refrigerated distribution centers. The RP-TNC male connection with 0.3 m pigtail mates directly to standard UHF reader cables. The 865-928 MHz frequency range is the deciding spec for this antenna — it's broadband, so it works across all major UHF RFID regulatory regions without swapping elements. The 50 Ω impedance and maximum 1.5 VSWR mean the antenna presents a clean match to the reader port; reflected power stays low, which keeps read range consistent and protects the reader's front end. Radiation pattern is 70° vertical by 75° horizontal with 6 dB linear gain. That's a medium-narrow beamwidth suited for dock-door portals, conveyor read points, or aisle gantries where you want to confine the read zone and avoid picking up tags from adjacent lanes. The 0 m minimum distance to metal surfaces means it can be mounted flush on a metal frame or bracket without detuning — a practical advantage over antennas that require a ground-plane standoff. Shock resistance to 300 m/s² per EN 60068-2-27 and vibration to 100 m/s² mean the antenna holds alignment on high-speed sorters or near reciprocating machinery without the element shifting or the housing cracking.","metaTitle":"Siemens 6GT2812-1GA08 SIMATIC RF642A UHF RFID Antenna, 865-9","metaDescription":"Siemens SIMATIC RF600 RF642A linear UHF RFID antenna.
