UHF RFID Reader 8M Range RS232 RS485 TCP/IP Wiegand – R16-8DB
Asia-Teco R16-8DB — 8-Metre Long-Range UHF RFID Integrated Reader
The Asia-Teco R16-8DB is a professional-grade, integrated UHF RFID card reader engineered for demanding environments. With a built-in high-performance linear-polarised antenna capable of stable recognition up to 8 metres, this reader delivers fast, reliable multi-tag identification across a wide range of commercial and industrial applications — from car-park vehicle management to warehouse and asset tracking.
Its all-in-one integrated design means no external antenna is required, and the rugged waterproof housing ensures dependable operation outdoors and in harsh conditions. Flexible communication options (RS-232, RS-485, TCP/IP, Wiegand 26/34/96, USB) make integration with existing access-control, ERP, or custom software systems straightforward.
Made in Mainland China.
