NFC Cable Ties

These NFC Tags Provide a Flexible Solution for Tagging Assets

— January 27, 2016 — Tech
In addition to offering NFC tags in the form of buttons, plant pot tags, stickers and cards, RapidNFC is now also creating easy-to-use cable ties.

The NFC Cable tie Tag is powered by a NTAG213 NFC chip, meaning these ties can be used for tagging a wide range of assets, including cables, shelving, machinery and more. For situations where a sticker or a tag aren't suitable, this flexible wrap-around solution provides an easy way to loop around objects.

As well as being unique in its form, the locking zip tie is also designed in bright colors so that it can easily be spotted alongside other inventory. In comparison to RFID technology, this kind of NFC technology is more affordable and can be scanned from a wide range of devices.
