The Siemens 6GT2398-1DC10 is a SIMATIC RF300/RF200 ANT 12 RFID antenna built for industrial identification applications. It operates at 13.56 MHz and is designed for use with RF250R, RF350R, and RF350M readers. The stainless steel V2A housing and IP67 rating mean it handles washdown environments, food processing areas, and outdoor installation without the body or optics degrading.
The antenna measures 12 mm in diameter and 40 mm deep, with an M12 x 1 thread and two stainless steel nuts for fastening. That is a compact form factor that mounts into a standard 12 mm drilled hole or bracket — common on conveyor frames and machine guarding panels. The 3 m PUR trailing cable with M8 4-pole male connector at both ends is included; the cable is UL 758 rated, so it passes through cable trays in North American installations without a separate conduit derating review. The IECEx marking is present on the antenna itself. Shock resistance is 500 m/s² and vibration resistance is 200 m/s², which covers the typical mechanical stress on a conveyor line or packaging machine.
