Pepper C1 MUX

The Pepper C1 MUX module is the multiplexed version of the Pepper C1 – the first Eccel Technology Ltd product with wireless connectivity capabilities. The user can connect up to 8 external (red) RFID antennas. Thanks to the wireless connectivity, the customer receives free lifetime Over-the-Air updates, and of course the communication protocol can be used over TCP instead of the traditional UART/USB interface. Combining these features with standalone mode provides a “straight out of the box” ready to use device for many application. In standalone mode, the module can also send a tag UID over MQTT or WebSockets, making it easy to integrate with IoT systems.

Our wide range of RFID NFC smart cards, tags and labels are tightly tuned to work with our readers for the best performance. See our range here: https://ecceltechnology.com/product-category/rfid-cards-tags/

Our minimum order value is $50 but for small orders it may be cheaper to buy this product from our distributor partners: Digi-Key, RS Components or TME:

Price range: $60.97 through $62.26
