Awid ST-UHF-0-0 Uhf Extended Range Metal Tag

Product Description

The AWID ST-UHF-0-0 is a UHF extended range metal tag designed for use in access control and asset tracking applications. Built to perform on or near metallic surfaces where standard UHF tags typically fail, this tag delivers reliable read performance in challenging environments. It is sold individually and is classified as a reader accessory, making it a direct add-on component for UHF-based identification systems. Security integrators, access control technicians, and facility management professionals install this type of tag as part of broader RFID-enabled tracking or credential systems.

This metal tag is suited for applications where assets, equipment, or access points have metallic mounting surfaces that would otherwise detune or block a standard passive UHF tag. Typical installations include industrial facilities, data centers, warehouses, and secured entry points where equipment tagging or vehicle or personnel tracking is required. The extended range design supports read distances greater than those achievable with standard proximity tags, supporting faster throughput at access lanes or wide-area asset scanning.

Key Features

• UHF frequency operation supports extended read range compared to standard LF or HF tags
• Engineered for on-metal mounting surfaces where standard UHF tags lose performance
• Sold individually, allowing single-unit replacement or incremental deployment
• Functions as a reader accessory within UHF access control and asset tracking systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style accessory for use with UHF RFID reader systems that support compatible UHF passive tag protocols.

Installation Notes

Installation of UHF metal tags is typically performed by access control technicians or security systems integrators. The tag should be affixed to the intended metallic surface according to the system manufacturer guidelines, ensuring the tag face is oriented toward the reader antenna for optimal read performance. Verify that the UHF reader system is powered down or placed in a safe service mode before handling reader-connected hardware nearby. Follow all applicable local codes and system manufacturer specifications for tag placement and reader configuration.
