ThingMagic M6e High Performance, Multi-Protocol, 4-Port, Embedded UHF RAIN RFID Module ThingMagic M6e is a 4-port module that meets or exceeds the performance requirements of the most demanding fixed position multi-antenna reader applications. The M6es high read rate and RF power, coupled with its form factor and time-to-market advantages, make it the ideal solution for Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) applications. Transmitting up to +31.5 dBm and reading more than 750 tags/second, ThingMagics M6e performance is outstanding in challenging applications. 69 mm L x 43 mm W x 7.5 mm H The M6e has both serial and USB interfaces to support both board-to-board and board-to-host connectivity. Features & Benefits: M6e offers multi-protocol support, including EPCglobal Gen 2 Small Form Factor Coupled (ISO 18000-6C) with DRM, ISO 18000-6B (optional) and IP-X with Powerful Performance (optional). Maximum Read Rate Distance of Over 9 m (30 It has four 50 ohm MMCX connectors supporting four feet) with 6 dBi antenna monostatic antennas. Support for Full 860 960 With separate read and write levels, command-adjustable from MHz UHF RFID Carrier Frequency Range to 5 dBm to 31.5 dBm (1.4W), with +/- .5 dBm accuracy above +15 Accommodate Global dBm (note that due to regulatory restrictions, 31.5 dBm in North Regulations American regions requires SKU M6E-A). Support for EPCglobal ThingMagic M6e is supported by ThingMagic API.
