What this tag is and where it fits
The Siemens 6GT2810-2BB80-0AX1 is a SIMATIC RF610T special-variant ISO card — a UHF RFID transponder built for the RF600 system, operating across the full 860 to 960 MHz global UHF band and compliant with EPCglobal Class 1 Gen 2 and ISO 18000-63 protocols. This tag is designed for industrial asset tracking and identification in environments that demand IP67 sealing — meaning the card body and its internal transponder survive washdown, dust, and temporary immersion — and ATEX Zone 2/22 certification (Ex ic IIB T6 to T4 gas, Ex ic IIIB T120°C dust), so it can be deployed in potentially explosive atmospheres where flammable gases or combustible dusts are present only under abnormal conditions. The card measures 86 x 54 x 0.4 mm, white PVC with a food-safe material rating, and can be fastened by gluing, cable tie, or screwing — a flexible mounting profile for attaching to totes, pallets, or equipment surfaces.
Key ratings and what they mean for fit
The 5 m maximum read range is reader-dependent and system-specific — the tag itself is capable of that distance under ideal conditions with a suitable RF600 reader, but overrange is possible per the system manual, so the actual installed range must be verified against the reader model and mounting environment. Memory architecture: 96-bit (12-byte) EPC memory, expandable to 240 bits (30 bytes), plus 64 bytes of user memory and a 64-bit TID — enough to carry a sequential identifier plus application data like batch numbers or maintenance history. The NXP G2XM chip supports multitag operation, lock/unlock and password protection, and a maximum transfer rate of 320 kbit/s — suitable for high-throughput conveyor or portal reads where multiple tags pass the antenna simultaneously. Environmental robustness: shock resistance to 1000 m/s² per DIN EN 60721-3-7 Class 7M3, vibrational acceleration to 500 m/s², and a temperature range of -25 °C to +85 °C during read/write access with storage from -40 °C to +85 °C — rated for cold-chain logistics and outdoor installations. The MTBF of 1712 years reflects the passive, battery-free design — no backup battery, no wear-out mechanism in normal use, so the practical service life is limited by mechanical attachment and environmental exposure rather than electronics aging.
Sourcing and lifecycle reality
The minimum order quantity is 1000 units, so this is a production-run or project-buy tag, not a sample or one-off replacement part — budget for the full MOQ when specifying into a BOM.
Compliance and approvals
IECEx certified for hazardous locations: Ex II 3 G Ex ic IIB T6 to T4, II 3 D Ex ic IIIB T120°C, ambient range -25 °C to +85 °C. The tag is printable via thermal transfer process, allowing on-demand labeling with barcodes or human-readable identifiers without affecting the RFID performance.
