DCE8658PLFSMF

Antennas RF Overview

The DCE8658PLFSMF is a UHF RFID panel antenna manufactured by TE Connectivity, operating within the 865MHz to 870MHz frequency range with a center frequency of 868MHz. It provides a gain of 8.5dBic and maintains a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.5. The component supports a maximum power input of 10W and features an SMA female connector for interfacing. Designed for robust outdoor deployment, it offers IP67 ingress protection and utilizes a base mount installation type. The unit has a maximum height of 3.900 inches (99.06mm).

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Engineered for high-density outdoor RFID applications with durable construction.
• Provides consistent signal performance across the designated UHF band.
• Features weather-resistant sealing suitable for harsh environmental conditions.

Antennas RF Applications

• High-density RFID systems requiring extended read ranges.
• Outdoor asset tracking and logistics management infrastructure.
• Industrial automation environments demanding reliable wireless connectivity.

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector type and mounting configuration against system requirements before ordering. Confirm that the operational frequency aligns with regional regulatory standards for UHF RFID usage. Ensure the receiving equipment supports the SMA interface and handles the specified power levels without degradation. Check for any recent product change notices or end-of-life announcements from the manufacturer to ensure long-term supply availability.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Choose this model when high gain and outdoor durability are critical for RFID coverage. It is suitable for scenarios requiring fixed installation on poles or walls where weather resistance is paramount. Consider the physical dimensions and base mount style to ensure compatibility with existing structural supports. Evaluate the need for SMA connectivity versus other interface options if integrating with different reader hardware.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the family of root antennas designed for UHF RFID applications. It complements other models in the series that may offer different frequency bands or power ratings. The design focuses on providing reliable performance for industrial and commercial RFID deployments. It represents a specialized solution for fixed infrastructure rather than portable or internal device integration.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

DCE8658PRFSMF operates at the same 865-870MHz frequency but may differ in specific polarization characteristics. DCE8658WPLFSMF covers a broader 865-960MHz range, offering wider frequency flexibility. Verify mechanical fit and electrical specifications when substituting these alternatives to ensure system compatibility.
