Zebra® UHF RFID Antennas

Pick by read zone

Every antenna on this page is a Zebra® UHF RFID antenna supplied through JNXRFID. They are built to pair with fixed RFID readers, so antenna and reader are best chosen together. If you already know the reader, start from the zone you need to cover. If you do not, we will size the pair with you.

How to choose

Five things decide whether an antenna works in the field. They matter more than the model number.

Read zone size

A 3 dBiL antenna covers a smaller, controlled zone. An 8.5 dBic panel reaches further for portals and dock doors. Pick the smallest antenna that covers the zone you actually need — wider is not automatically better.

Polarization

Circular polarization (LHCP or RHCP) reads tags at any orientation. Dual-polarized antennas add a second port for dense zones where tag orientation is unpredictable.

Mounting surface

Low-profile panels mount flush on ceilings and walls. Compact models use articulating brackets so the beam can be aimed after installation.

Environment

IP67 models are sealed for wash-down, cold rooms and outdoor portals. IP54 is for indoor use, protected from direct water.

Connector and cable run

Check the connector type against your reader port, and the cable loss over the run. Long runs lose more power than most installations assume.

How do I get help choosing the right model?

Send us the tag type, read zone and environment. JNXRFID shortlists the models that fit, explains the trade-offs, and supplies a single evaluation unit before volume orders. Contact us for current lead time and evaluation terms.

Not sure which antenna fits your zone?

Send us the reader you are using, the distance and the environment. We will shortlist two or three options and explain the trade-offs.
