HID Vizinex - Sentry Cable
UHF RFID Tag

Vizinex RFID’s Sentry line of high-performance, cost-effective, and application-specific RFID tags are based on a printed circuit board platform. This well-established manufacturing process offers unsurpassed reliability and consistency in read range performance. At the core of the tag is a fiber-reinforced composite material that gives the Sentry tag its innate ruggedness. The innovative, patented tag design enables fast prototyping and affordable customization - essential to the expanding requirements of the RFID industry.

Improvements in RF chip design and Vizinex’s expertise at matching the new chips to highly efficient antennae, is improving the performance and reducing and cost of RFID. The Sentry Cable is the third generation of Vizinex’s highly successful tag for tracking cable assemblies. The new generation is exactly the same package as its predecessor but packs 25% more read range with no increase in cost.

The Sentry Cable tag has a low profile, just 2.8mm tall and a relatively small footprint of 36mm x 11mm. Despite this small package, it provides a read range of 18-20’ when mounted on insulated metal. Like it’s predecessor, the cable tag fits perfectly in Vizinex’s line of tag holders, deployed by many companies that use large, expensive cable assemblies. The additional read range of the new generation product will provide more reliable reads and more complete reads even when cables are piled together for transport.
