Connecting RF620A to an RF600 reader

Preassembled standard cables in lengths of 3 m, 5 m, 10 m, 15 m and 20 m are available to
connect the antenna.
The read range is limited by the cable loss. The maximum range can be achieved with the
6GT2815-0BH30 cable (length 3 m) since this has the lowest cable loss.
Connection of one antenna
When one antenna is used, we recommend that you close the remaining antenna connector
on the RF600 reader using the supplied protective cap.
Connection of two antennas
When using two antennas on the RF600 readers, there are no limitations regarding its
positioning.
Note
Protective cap
If you use the internal antenna of the reader, we recommend that you close the external,
unused antenna connector on the reader using the supplied protective cap.
