CHAFON CF6A2 Prime UHF RFID Reader with 9 dBi Antenna, 865-868MHz, RS485 Interface, 0-10m Reading Distance

The CF6A2 supports a comprehensive set of industrial interfaces including RS485, RS232, Wiegand, TCP/IP (Ethernet), USB, and TTL. Optional interfaces such as Power over Ethernet (PoE) and Wi-Fi are also available. This flexibility allows for direct integration into PLC systems, access control panels, and network-based asset management software.

The CHAFON CF6A2 requires a 12V DC power supply with a minimum current rating of 2A for stable operation. It is typically supplied with a compatible 12V 2A power adapter. Ensure your power source meets these specifications, especially for deployments using the optional PoE module.

The RF output power is software-adjustable from 0 to 26 dBm via the provided configuration tools or API. Increasing the power extends the theoretical reading distance, up to the maximum of 10 meters. Configuration is performed through the USB, Ethernet, or serial interface using CHAFON's software utilities to comply with local RF regulations.

Yes. The reader is housed in a die-cast aluminum enclosure with an IP65 ingress protection rating, making it dust-tight and protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction. This design ensures reliable performance in outdoor and harsh industrial environments for applications like vehicle access or yard management.

The reader operates on the UHF frequency bands: 865-868 MHz (ETSI standard) and 902-928 MHz (FCC standard). It supports the EPCglobal UHF Class 1 Gen 2 (ISO/IEC 18000-6C) protocol, which is the global standard for passive UHF RFID, ensuring compatibility with a vast majority of commercial UHF tags.
