Durable Asset Tags

UHF asset tracking tags has been designed to track and identify metal Assets. All of the products in this family of tags conform to the FSTC performance guidelines for Data Center Asset Tracking.[6][7] Tags in this family are designed to withstand temperatures of -58°F to +158°F.[8]

Sentry-M - Specifically designed for superior performance when attached to metal assets. It features a read range between 11-13 feet. It is ideal for tracking tools, metal pallets and racks, electronic component cabinets, and IT assets.[9]
Sentry-M Slim - Extremely thing at 1/2 the width of the Sentry-M, the Sentry-M Slim is ideal for tracking metal IT equipment. It's read range of 8.5-10 feet is optimized for rack-mounted and stacked IT equipment. The thin profile also makes the Sentry-M Slim ideal for tool tracking applications.[10]
Sentry-AS - All-surface tag for environments with a mixture of surfaces and provides a read range of 6-7 feet. The Sentry-AS is ideal for tracking plastic coated components, laptops, and IT equipment.[11]
Sentry - M WW- Mount–on–metal asset tag that is functional across the worldwide UHF frequency band of 860 – 960 MHz. The Sentry-M WW can be used to track metal objects such as IT equipment (computers, servers, hardware), tools, and other metal assets.[12][13][14]
