- Low Profile: 5.6 mm (0.22 in)
- Read Range: 10 m (33 ft) max
- Durability: IP68 rated, chemical/temperature resistant
Manually scanning barcodes on cables one by one slows down inventory, creates workflow bottlenecks, and leaves rental and production operations vulnerable to lost or misplaced assets. The HID Sentry Cable RAIN RFID Tag eliminates that friction by letting you scan entire bundles of cables at once, no line of sight needed. Built specifically for use on insulated metal, this PCB-based tag delivers a read range of up to 6 m (20 ft) even when cables are coiled or stacked for transport, giving your team reliable, real-time visibility into every cable in your inventory.
At just 36.3 x 10.9 x 2.8 mm (1.43 x 0.43 x 0.11 in) and 1.6 g (0.06 oz), the Sentry Cable tag packs serious performance into an ultra-compact, low-profile form factor. Powered by the Impinj M750 chip and available in EU (865–868 MHz) and US (902–928 MHz) frequencies, it meets EPC C1G2 and ISO 18000-6C standards. Pair it with the purpose-built Sentry Cable Tag Holders, made from high-performance thermoplastic polyester and sized for cable diameters from 7.62 mm to 33.6 mm (0.30 in to 1.325 in), and you have a complete, rugged cable tracking solution built to survive heat, impact, and the demands of daily use in the field.
