What this tag is and where it fits
The Siemens 6GT2810-2HC05 is a SIMATIC RF645T container tag — a UHF RFID transponder built for the RF600 system, operating across 865 to 928 MHz and compliant with EPCglobal Class 1 Gen 2 and ISO 18000-63. The IP68 rating means the tag body and internal electronics survive full immersion, making it a candidate for outdoor container tracking, washdown environments, or logistics loops where a standard tag would fail from moisture ingress. The NXP UCODE 7xm-2K chip gives 256 byte of user memory and EPC memory expandable from 96 to 448 bit, so you can store a sequential identifier plus additional payload data on the tag itself. Read range is listed at 6 m, but the system manual notes overrange is possible and the actual reach is reader-dependent — expect to qualify it against your specific antenna and mounting geometry.
Deployment and mounting
The tag measures 52 x 36 x 12.5 mm in an ABS housing, black in color, and silicon-free. It can be fastened with adhesive or using the optional fixing hood and retaining bracket — no DIN-rail clip, so plan for direct surface mounting on a container, pallet, or asset. The operating temperature range covers -40 to +85 °C for both read/write access and storage, which matches cold-chain and hot-climate logistics. Shock resistance is tested to DIN EN 60721-3-7 Class 7 M3 at 500 m/s², and vibration to 200 m/s², so it holds up to the mechanical abuse of transport and handling.
Memory and protocol details
Memory is EEPROM with lock, unlock, write protection, and password protection features. The tag is multitag-capable and uses linear polarization. Maximum transfer rate is 320 kbit/s. No backup battery — this is a passive tag powered by the reader field.
