Zebra AN660 RFID Antenna

The Zebra AN660 is a high-gain, low-profile UHF RFID antenna specifically engineered to handle the challenges of reading a large number of tags in dense environments. This antenna stands out from standard patch antennas, which often struggle with high tag volumes, due to its advanced internal configuration that enhances its performance and reliability. One of the key features of the AN660 is its slim design, with a thickness of just 0.33 inches. This ultra-thin profile allows it to seamlessly integrate into various settings without being obtrusive. The antenna can be easily installed using its flush mounting kit, ensuring a clean and professional appearance. Additionally, for more versatile mounting options, it can be equipped with an optional 100x100mm VESA adaptor plate, making it adaptable to different installation requirements. Overall, the Zebra AN660 combines high performance with a sleek design, making it an ideal choice for environments where efficient tag reading and aesthetic integration are crucial.
