Mini ABS RFID Cable Tie Tag
- 19 × 12 mm ABS head, 0.8 g — smallest form factor in the zip tie RFID range
- Nylon 66 strap: high tensile strength, flame-retardant, and electrically non-conductive
- Supports UHF (NXP U8, U9) and NFC (NTAG213) — handheld scanner or smartphone read
- Custom colour selection, laser serial marking, and EPC/NDEF pre-encoding available
Mini ABS RFID Cable — Features
Most cable tie RFID tags are designed around antenna performance: a larger head accommodates a larger antenna, which produces a better read range. That trade-off is sensible for open warehouse environments but creates a physical problem in dense cable infrastructure. In a server rack, adjacent cables are separated by millimetres; an oversized tag head forces cables apart, creates pressure points on insulation, and may not pass through cable management rings at all. This tag reverses the design priority — the head dimensions are set by the installation constraint rather than the antenna, and the antenna is fitted to the available space. The result is an RFID tag that attaches without disrupting the cable environment it is meant to identify.

Mini ABS RFID Cable — FAQ
-
Yes. The Nylon 66 strap is electrically non-conductive and rated for continuous contact with live wiring insulation. It is widely used on network cable bundles, server rack cabling, and electrical panel wiring for asset identification.
-
UHF (U8/U9) versions offer read ranges up to 2 m with a fixed UHF reader, suited to warehouse and logistics scanning. The NTAG213 version is readable by any NFC-enabled smartphone at 0–2 cm range, suited to technician field-scanning without dedicated reader hardware.
-
The standard strap is rated to -10 °C. For cold-chain or outdoor winter applications, we offer a cold-resistant strap formulation rated to -40 °C — please specify when ordering.
-
The 19 × 12 mm ABS head surface can carry a laser-engraved serial number (up to 10–12 characters at readable size) or a small QR code (minimum 10 × 10 mm version). For larger data content, we recommend moving to the Disposable T-Type or Customizable Length tag with larger head dimensions.
-
Standard colours — black, blue, yellow, and red — are in stock for immediate order. Colour coding is commonly used to distinguish asset categories (e.g., blue for IT equipment, red for restricted areas). Custom Pantone-matched colours are available from 3,000 pcs per colour with a sample lead time of 7 days.
