The Siemens 6GT2810-2AE80-0AX2 is a SIMATIC RF630L SmartLabel PET RFID tag, part of the RF600 family, designed for UHF band operation across 860 to 960 MHz. It uses an Alien Higgs 3 transponder chip with 96-bit EPC memory expandable to 480 bits and 64 bytes of user memory, supporting the EPCglobal Class 1 Gen 2 / ISO 18000-63 protocol at data rates up to 320 kbit/s.
What the ratings mean for fit
The 860 to 960 MHz frequency range covers global UHF RFID bands (EU 865-868 MHz, US 902-928 MHz), so this single label works across regions without variant selection. The read range is reader-dependent, up to 4 m — enough for portal reads or conveyor gantry applications, but overrange is possible per the RF600 system manual. IP67 when adhered means the label body and antenna survive washdown environments — suitable for food processing lines or outdoor asset tracking where the label is bonded to a plastic or foil surface. The PET material and one-side adhesive fastening are designed for permanent attachment, not repositioning. Operating temperature from -25 to +85 °C during read/write access, with transient tolerance up to 130 °C for 30 minutes, covers most industrial bake cycles and autoclave processes. Storage at 5 to 20 °C at 45-55% humidity maximizes the one-year shelf life before application.
Where it is used
This label is designed for the SIMATIC RF600 system — Siemens' industrial UHF RFID platform used in logistics, production tracking, and asset management. Common deployments include pallet labeling, work-in-process tracking on plastic totes, and returnable container identification in automotive or electronics supply chains.
Lifecycle and sourcing reality
The memory organization is flexible: EPC memory starts at 96 bits and expands to 480 bits, while user memory reduces from 64 bytes to 16 bytes when maximum EPC is used. The TID memory is fixed at 96 bits. This matters for applications needing to store custom data alongside the EPC identifier.
Integration notes
The label is supplied 1000 units per roll, 5 rolls per carton, with a minimum order quantity of 5000 labels. Printing is via thermal transfer process. The adhesive is specified as strongly adhesive onto plastic or foil — test on your substrate before full deployment, especially on low-surface-energy plastics like polyethylene. The chip supports lock, unlock, kill, write protection, and password protection features — useful for anti-counterfeiting or write-once-read-many applications. Multi-tag capable means it handles dense-read environments without excessive collisions.
