5.2.3 Cabinet
Þ The cabinet uses aluminum alloy sections with exterior
protective layer of oxide metal.
5.3 Auxiliaries
A complete RFID data collecting system is comprised of an
RFID reader, tags, antennas, PC and reader interface software.
The specific requirements of the auxiliaries are as follows.
5.3.1 PC
The minimum PC requirements:
Þ 9-pin RS-232 serial port;
Þ Windows 98/2000/XP with stable performance;
5.3.2 RF Cable
The requirements of RF cables:
Þ Maximum length: 10m;
Þ Impedance: 50Ω.
A piece of RF cable of excessive length will result in
attenuation of transmitted signals, and the attenuation of
received echo signals will also be augmented, both of
which will therefore reduce the distance of read and write.
