The Siemens 6GT2398-1DD10 is a SIMATIC RF200/RF300 RFID antenna (ANT 30) built for 13.56 MHz read/write heads. It's a stainless steel V2A cylinder, 30 mm diameter, 40 mm deep, with an M30x1.5 thread for panel or machine mounting. The included 3 m PUR trailing cable (6GT2391-0AH30) terminates in an M8, 4-pole male connector, so it plugs straight into compatible readers without field wiring. Rated IP67, it handles washdown and wet environments directly — the stainless body and sealed cable entry mean no secondary enclosure is needed for splash zones.
Compatibility and mounting
This antenna is designed for the SIMATIC RF250R, RF350R, and RF350M readers. The M30x1.5 thread and two stainless steel nuts let you bolt it into a standard 30 mm hole — no custom bracket needed. It mounts directly against metal surfaces (0 mm minimum clearance), which is unusual for an RFID antenna and saves panel space. The 3 m antenna cable is pre-terminated at both ends with an M8 male connector on the reader side. That's a fixed length — if your install needs a longer run, you'll need an extension cable between the antenna and reader, not a splice on this assembly.
