Product Information

Product Overview

The Compact UHF RFID Reader Module U1-CT-01 is a miniature embedded reader designed for access control terminals, smart cabinets, smart locks, identification devices, anti-counterfeit systems and other compact OEM applications. Measuring only 30 × 30 × 10 mm and weighing approximately 20 g, the module integrates a built-in ceramic UHF antenna and communicates with the host controller through a TTL interface. It operates from a 3.3-5V DC supply, making it suitable for space-constrained embedded products.

The module supports EPC Class 1 Gen 2 / ISO 18000-6C and GB/T 29768-2013, with RF output power adjustable from 3-20 dBm. Typical reading distance can reach up to approximately 50 cm, depending on tag performance, RF settings and the installation environment. Anti-collision processing supports multi-tag identification with a peak inventory speed of up to 30 tags per second, a 100-tag buffer at 96-bit EPC, RSSI reporting and receiver sensitivity down to -67 dBm. Chip temperature monitoring and SM7 security algorithm support are also provided.

TTL communication operates at a default 115200 bps and can be configured according to integration requirements. SDK resources include dynamic libraries, example code, demo software, user manuals and operating documentation for host-system integration and secondary development. Firmware adaptation, security interface expansion and project-specific embedded integration can also be discussed according to application requirements.

Selection Guide

Quick Selection Guide

A practical summary to help match this reader to the right application and installation conditions.

Best For

Access control terminals, smart cabinets, smart locks, embedded identification devices, anti-counterfeit systems and compact OEM equipment requiring short- to medium-range UHF RFID reading.

Choose This When

Choose this module when your project requires a compact UHF RFID reader with an integrated ceramic antenna, TTL communication, 3.3-5V operation and controlled reading distance up to approximately 50 cm.

Not Ideal For

Not intended for long-range warehouse inventory, RFID portals or applications requiring external high-gain antennas and multi-meter reading distance.

Read Range & Installation

Typical reading distance can reach up to approximately 50 cm and depends on tag sensitivity, RF output setting, mounting position and surrounding materials. Keep the integrated ceramic antenna area clear of large metal surfaces where possible to maintain stable reading performance.

Compatibility

Supports EPC Class 1 Gen 2 / ISO 18000-6C and GB/T 29768-2013 UHF RFID. FCC 902-928 MHz and GB 920-925 MHz frequency configurations are supported, with TTL communication for embedded host integration.
