What this tag is and where it fits
The Siemens 6GT2810-2HC80 is a SIMATIC RF620T Container-Tag built for the RF600 UHF RFID system. It operates across 865 to 928 MHz, covering the global UHF bands used in logistics, container tracking, and asset management. The tag uses an IMPINJ MONZA 2 transponder chip and complies with ISO 18000-6C and EPC Class 1 Gen 2 standards, which means it works with standard UHF readers that support those protocols. The housing is anthracite-colored PP (polypropylene), sized 127 mm deep by 38 mm wide by 6 mm high. IP67 protection means the tag withstands dust ingress and temporary immersion — suitable for outdoor container yards, washdown environments, or transport applications where the tag sees rain, mud, or cleaning cycles.
What the ratings mean for fit
The read range is listed at 6 m, but the evidence notes this is reader-dependent and overrange is possible — the system manual (reference 67384964) should be consulted for the specific reader model. The 6 m figure is a practical benchmark for a fixed reader with a good antenna; expect shorter range with handheld readers or in high-interference environments. Operating temperature during read/write access is -25 to +80 °C, while storage outside the read/write area extends from -40 to +80 °C. This means the tag can survive cold storage or hot transport but must be within the narrower range when actually being interrogated. The 12-byte user memory (EEPROM) supports lock, unlock, write protection, and password protection — enough for a container ID or maintenance timestamp, not for large data payloads. Shock resistance is rated to DIN EN 60721-3-7 Class 7M3 with 1000 m/s² shock acceleration and 500 m/s² vibrational acceleration. That is a ruggedness spec for transport and handling — the tag is designed to stay attached and readable through container stacking, forklift impacts, and road vibration. Fastening options include gluing, two M5 screws, or spacers; torsion and bending stress are not permissible, so the mounting surface must be flat.
Lifecycle and sourcing reality
Because this is a mature product with no announced discontinuation, the sourcing posture is straightforward: quoted to order against an RFQ. No last-time-buy clock is ticking. If you are filling a container-tracking deployment or maintaining spares for an existing RF600 installation, this tag remains the correct order code — no substitution needed.
