Vulcan RFID C912 Outdoor RFID Antenna | FCC

Deploy long-range UHF RFID reads in demanding outdoor environments without sacrificing accuracy or orientation sensitivity. The Vulcan RFID C912 is a circularly polarized UHF RFID antenna built for applications where tag orientation varies and read consistency is non-negotiable. With an industry-leading axial ratio of less than 1.0 dB and a 9.4 dBiC gain, the C912 delivers reliable reads across all tag orientations as they enter the read zone, making it a strong fit for toll gate installations, traffic lane monitoring, and high-throughput logistics.

Outdoor deployments often mean battling the elements, and the C912 is ready for it. An IP67 rating and DC grounded lightning protection keep the antenna running through rain, dust, and temperature swings from -40° to +70°C (-40° to +158°F). Its narrow 65° beamwidth and 18 dB front-to-back ratio keep reads focused on the intended zone, reducing interference and false reads. Standard 100 x 100 mm VESA mounting studs make installation straightforward with the compatible Vulcan RFID HDMNT-100MM mounting bracket.

The C912 stands out with an axial ratio under 1.0 dB, one of the tightest specs in its class, meaning tags moving through the read zone in any orientation get captured consistently, not just when they're aligned perfectly. Paired with a focused 65° beamwidth and an 18 dB front-to-back ratio, it gives you the read precision that high-stakes outdoor environments like toll lanes and logistics portals require. IP67 protection and DC grounded lightning protection make it a low-maintenance choice for permanent outdoor installations.
