The 6GT2815-0BH10 is a 1-meter pre-assembled coaxial antenna cable with R-TNC sockets at both ends, built with LMR-195 coax. This is the shortest standard cable in the SIMATIC RF600 antenna cable family—and the one with the lowest insertion loss, simply because there is the least cable between the reader and the antenna.

When should I use the 1-meter cable?

Use the 1-meter jumper when the reader and antenna ports are physically adjacent—mounted on the same panel face, on the same DIN rail segment, or in a back-to-back configuration with the reader inside the cabinet and the antenna on the cabinet door directly in front of it. At 1 meter and 900 MHz, LMR-195 insertion loss is roughly 0.17 dB—essentially transparent for all practical RFID link budgets. This cable maximizes the power that reaches the antenna and the backscatter that returns to the reader, making it the correct choice when maximum read range is required and proximity allows a short connection. If the antenna is farther away, use the 3-meter (6GT2815-0BH30) or longer LMR-195 variants, or step up to LMR-300 for runs beyond 10 meters.
