HID – Sentry Cable Tag
The Sentry Cable Tag is a cutting-edge RFID solution tailored for tracking cable assemblies with unparalleled efficiency. Designed to address the challenges faced by rental companies in industries like audiovisual, construction, and IT, this specialized tag revolutionizes cable management. Unlike traditional barcodes that require line-of-sight scanning, the Sentry Cable Tag leverages RFID technology to enable bulk scanning without direct visibility. Its optimized design allows for scanning even when cables are densely packed, streamlining logistics and inventory processes.
Crafted with precision, the Sentry Cable Tag boasts a low profile of just 2.8 mm and a compact footprint of 36 mm x 11 mm, yet delivers an impressive read range of up to 20 ft (6 m) when affixed to insulated metal. This exceptional performance is further enhanced by the utilization of the latest Impinj M750 chipset, ensuring reliable reads in both EU and US frequencies. The tag’s compatibility with insulated metal and various cable dimensions is facilitated by a range of durable tag holders made from high-performance thermoplastic polyester resin.
The rugged design of the Sentry Cable Tag holders is a testament to their durability, withstanding harsh conditions such as high temperatures, vibration, and impact. These holders not only provide a secure mounting solution but also feature a clear ‘window’ for reading barcodes or labels while safeguarding them from environmental elements. Additionally, the holders come in various sizes to accommodate different cable dimensions and include a rope holder feature for manual handling of heavy cables.
In essence, the Sentry Cable Tag and its accompanying holders offer a seamless blend of high performance, ease of use, and robustness. Whether it’s cable tracking in metal conductor cables, rental equipment for video production, power generation, or events production, the Sentry Cable Tag stands out as a reliable and efficient solution for optimizing workflows and ensuring accurate inventory management in diverse industries.
