Reusable EAS RFID Cable — Features
Standard reusable cable ties can be opened by anyone who handles the asset — a sensible convenience in a controlled warehouse, but a compliance gap in regulated or high-value environments. When removal of a seal is supposed to be a documented event, a mechanism that any operator can undo at will provides no audit trail and no deterrent. This tag borrows the locking principle from retail hard-tag security: the clasp engages magnetically and will not release without the correct tool, which means removal is both traceable (only personnel with the tool can do it) and visible (the clasp is clearly either locked or unlocked). Unlike single-use seals, the tag components survive the authorised release intact, so the same hardware is reused across the next cycle.

Reusable EAS RFID Cable — FAQ
-
The EAS magnetic clasp locks the cable tie closed. It can only be released with a specific magnetic opener tool (like those used for retail security tags), not by hand or common tools. This makes unauthorized tag removal immediately obvious and prevents re-attaching a removed tag to a different asset without detection.
-
Yes. The clasp is the security mechanism — once opened with the tool, both the tag and the clasp are intact and can be re-attached to another asset. This is the key cost advantage over single-use tamper seals for high-value asset pools.
-
M4QT is Impinj's privacy-enabled chip variant. It supports a 'hide' command that temporarily renders the tag unreadable to standard readers, then re-enables with an authenticated access command. It is used in applications where personal privacy regulations require selective tag visibility — for example, in healthcare or consumer product tracking.
-
The opener tool is sold separately. Please indicate the quantity of opener tools when placing your order. We recommend one opener per 500–1,000 tags deployed, depending on your operations.
-
The 300 mm strap length allows securing bundles up to approximately 90 mm in diameter, depending on the bundle geometry. For larger bundles or irregular shapes, contact us — the strap length can be customized similar to our Customizable Length RFID Cable Tie Tag.
