What this RFID label is
The Siemens 6GT2810-2AB01-0AX1 is a SIMATIC RF630L SmartLabel — a UHF RFID transponder label on white PET material, sized 101 mm wide by 50 mm deep, with a thickness of 0.3 mm. It uses the NXP G2iM chip and operates across the 860 to 960 MHz frequency band, supporting EPCglobal Class 1 Gen 2 and ISO 18000-63 protocols. User memory is 64 bytes, and the maximum read range is 5 m, though actual range depends on the reader and environment — overrange is possible per the RF600 system manual.
Key specifications and what they mean for fit
The 860 to 960 MHz operating frequency covers global UHF RFID bands. The NXP G2iM chip provides 256-bit EPC memory plus 64 bytes of user memory. The label is designed for the SIMATIC RF600 system — specifically noted as suitable for operation with RF600 readers. It achieves IP60 protection only when properly glued; the manufacturer explicitly states the label must be protected against humidity in its glued condition. The adhesive is described as one-sided adhesive especially for foam materials, so this is the variant to order when the target surface is foamed rather than a smooth rigid substrate. Operating temperature range is -40 to +80 °C during read/write access and outside the read/write area, with a storage life maximum of 2 years at 40% to 60% humidity. The thermal transfer printing process is specified, so the label accepts on-demand printing at the point of application. Maximum transfer rate is 320 kbit/s.
Where it is used
This class of UHF RFID label is used for identifying and tracking assets, work-in-progress, or finished goods in industrial environments — particularly where the SIMATIC RF600 reader infrastructure is already deployed. The white PET material and thermal-transfer printability make it suitable for applications that require a human-readable barcode or text alongside the RFID transponder, such as pallet labels, tote tags, or serialization labels in pharmaceutical and automotive supply chains.
