Ferroxtag is a new family of RFID tags from Ferroxcube suitable for operation attached to metallic items. Operatiing frequency is 13.56 MHz. A key product feature is the direction of the field activating the device. It is not perpendicular to the identified item but parallel to it. This feature facilitates performance is almost independent of the material of the item identified. The Ferroxtag core is an outstanding high magnetic permeability ferrite material that enhances the performance of the winding, thus reducing the dimensions of the coil. Also, a bar code is affixed to the tag so that it can also be read with a conventional bar code reader. Look for more product information on the Ferroxcubewebsite.
