It operates in the 902 to 928 MHz FCC band using the EPCglobal Class 1 Gen 2 / ISO 18000-63 protocol, with a maximum transfer rate of 320 kbit/s, making it compatible with the SIMATIC RF600 reader family and any Gen 2 infrastructure. The NXP G2XM chip provides 240 bits of EPC memory (expandable from 96 bits) plus 64 bytes of user-rewritable memory, with lock, unlock, write-protection, and password features for securing the data on the tag.
The IP68/IPx9K rating means the tag survives both prolonged immersion and high-pressure hot-water washdown — suited for food-and-bev lines, chemical processing, or outdoor yards where steam-cleaning or flooding is routine. Read range is listed as up to 2 m, but the evidence notes it is reader-dependent and overrange is possible; the practical range on an RF600 reader over a metal surface is typically 1.5–2 m, so plan antenna placement accordingly. The tag withstands shock acceleration of 1000 m/s² and vibrational acceleration of 200 m/s² to DIN EN 60721-3-7 class 7M3, meaning it holds up on press rams, shaker tables, or vehicle-mounted equipment without bit errors or detachment. Operating temperature during read/write is -25 to +85 °C; outside the read area it tolerates -40 to +125 °C, so the tag can be mounted on a hot motor housing or near an oven and still function when interrogated.
It holds cULus approval, confirming acceptance for North American installations under UL and CSA standards. Minimum order quantity is 10 units per the description, so factor that into your procurement quantity.
