IDTS-5822 Flexible Silicone UHF RFID Tag 58 x 22 x 3.6 mm for Cable, Pipe & Metal Asset Tracking

The IDTS-5822 is a flexible silicone passive UHF RFID tag from IDentium, built as a slim dog-bone bar measuring 58 x 22 x 3.6 mm. The silicone body bends to sit against curved and irregular surfaces, and the tag offers two mounting routes in one part: four elongated slots for cable ties, and a pre-applied red double-sided adhesive backing. It runs an NXP UCODE 8 chip on ISO18000-6C, with a specified read range of approx. 4 m on metal.

Key Specifications

• SKU: IDTS-5822
• Product type: UHF RFID tag (passive)

• Read range: approx. 4 m on metal
• On-metal note: the read range figure is specified with the tag on a metal surface; this part is not classified as a dedicated anti-metal tag
• Material: Silicone
• Substrate class: Flexible
• Dimensions: 58 mm (L) x 22 mm (W) x 3.6 mm (T) - the 3.6 mm thickness is stated as including the adhesive backing
• Shape: dog-bone / hourglass shaped rectangular bar with four mounting slots
• Mounting slots: four elongated mounting / cable-tie slots, two at each end (slot dimensions are not specified)
• Adhesive backing: red double-sided VHB-type tape, factory applied
• Colour: light grey / white body with red adhesive backing
• Operating temperature: -20 C to +80 C

Applications

• Cable, harness and hose identification - the 58 mm bar cable-ties neatly onto cable bundles, hydraulic hoses and conduit runs in plants and substations
• Utility and electrical asset registers - meters, distribution boxes, feeder pillars, switchgear cubicles and panel doors
• Gas cylinder and valve-fitting tagging - the flexible body suits collars, valve guards and other curved metal fittings where a rigid tag will not seat
• Tool cribs and maintenance stores - jigs, fixtures, portable power tools, torque wrenches and hand-issued plant equipment
• IT asset audits - server racks, rack rails, network switches and UPS units, where the adhesive backing gives a quick fix during rollout
• Returnable transit items - metal trolleys, cages, bins and stillages moving between warehouse and line side
• Railways, manufacturing and pharma plant utilities - line-side equipment, pipework and service assets on scheduled inspection rounds

Why Choose This Tag

• Two mounting methods, one part. Four elongated slots (two at each end) take cable ties, while the factory-applied red double-sided adhesive backing lets you fix the tag directly - useful when your asset base mixes cables, panels and flat metal faces.
• Flexible silicone body. The silicone construction lets the 58 x 22 mm bar follow curved surfaces instead of standing proud of them, and the 3.6 mm total thickness (adhesive included) keeps the profile low.
• Specified for metal mounting. The read range of approx. 4 m on metal is quoted with the tag on a metal surface, so you are sizing your deployment against a realistic mounting condition rather than a free-air figure.
• Standards-based chip and memory. NXP UCODE 8 on ISO18000-6C with 128-bit EPC and 96-bit TID - the factory-programmed TID gives every tag a unique serial for audit trails alongside your own EPC scheme.
• -20 C to +80 C operating range. Covers Indian warehouse, plant floor and shaded outdoor asset-register work as well as chilled storage areas within that band.

Read range is a typical figure, not a guarantee. Actual performance varies with reader output power, antenna type and orientation, the mounting surface and the surrounding environment. We recommend a short on-site trial on your own assets before bulk ordering.
