- Description
The Siemens 6GT2812-1GA08 is a SIMATIC RF600 antenna, model RF642A, built for linear UHF RFID reading across the 865 to 928 MHz band. It provides 6 dB gain with a 75-degree horizontal and 70-degree vertical radiating angle through a male RP-TNC connector, and its IP65 housing operates from -25 to +75 degrees C.

Selection Notes
Linear polarization on the RF642A concentrates energy in one plane, which favors read range on tags oriented consistently to the antenna, unlike a circular antenna that trades some range for tolerance to tag orientation. At 6 dB gain with a 75° x 70° radiating pattern, it suits a fixed gate or conveyor position where tag orientation is predictable and the read zone needs to stay tight. The 0.3 m pigtail terminates in RP-TNC male, so a separate SIMATIC RF600 antenna cable of the required length connects it to the reader.
