Description
The AD-456u8 from Avery Dennison is a Gen2 UHF RFID label for tagging items that cannot be RFID-enabled with traditional inlay designs, including hard-to-read surfaces such as metal.
Avery lists manufacturing, computers and electronics and miscellaneous consumer goods as suited applications, including beverages in aluminium cans. It uses an NXP UCODE 8 chip and is described as robust, high-performing and versatile.
Memory and versions
The chip has 128-bit EPC memory and a 96-bit unique factory-locked TID, with a 48-bit unique serial number encoded into the TID. Avery states the product is available in both FCC and ETSI versions; the specifications below are from the FCC datasheet (product code RF100575).
Construction
The label has a PET inlay substrate and a 2 mil white PET face sheet, is 810-861 microns thick, and is supplied on 76 mm cores at 1,300 pieces per reel with a 25.4 mm pitch. The only delivery format is a label or sticker.
Quality and performance data
Avery states the product is made to the industry’s highest quality standards, as confirmed by the RFID Lab at Auburn University. The datasheet includes an on-metal read-distance chart across 830-960 MHz; ask our team for it, since results depend on the reader, antenna and mounting surface.
