Brady XA20 UHF RFID Antenna (EU)

Brady XA20 UHF RFID antenna EU

The Brady XA20 UHF RFID Antenna EU is a rugged external RFID antenna specifically designed to extend the read range and reliability of the Brady IRX200 fixed RFID reader. This antenna is designed for industrial environments where shock, vibration and changing conditions are daily occurrences. With the combination of high gain, circular polarization and a very rugged housing, the XA20 delivers consistent performance within demanding RFID applications.

Designed for industrial reliability

The XA20 is shock and vibration tested and features IP67 protection class. This makes the antenna fully protected against dust and resistant to water, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. This makes the XA20 particularly suitable for industrial locations such as production floors, logistics areas, outdoor areas and infrastructure installations where reliability is essential for continuous operation.

High gain with low axial ratio

The Brady XA20 is circularly polarized and provides a maximum gain of 7.5 dBic with a low axial ratio. As a result, RFID tags are read reliably regardless of their orientation or positioning. This is a great advantage in applications where tags are at different heights, angles or moving objects. The 70-degree beam angle provides a controlled read field with stable and predictable performance.

Robust connection via RP-TNC connector

For a secure and durable connection, the XA20 is equipped with an RP-TNC RF connector. This connector was specifically chosen for industrial applications where vibration and mechanical stresses play a role. The robust connector prevents signal loss and contributes to a stable RFID connection, even in long-term use under harsh conditions and frequent movement.

Optimal extension for the Brady IRX200

The XA20 is designed as an external antenna for the Brady IRX200 industrial fixed RFID reader. By adding this antenna, the reader's read range can be significantly extended and the detection area can be fine-tuned to the application. This makes the XA20 ideal for fixed RFID setups where control of the read field, reliability and consistent performance are required.

Widely applicable within professional sectors

The Brady XA20 UHF RFID antenna EU is used in industries such as industrial, logistics, energy, telecom, infrastructure and healthcare. Typical applications include asset tracking, inventory and inspection labeling, site identification, security identification and component and equipment identification. With its combination of robust design, high performance and industrial connectivity, the XA20 is a future-proof choice for organizations looking to professionally expand, optimize and reliably deploy their RFID infrastructure for the long term.
