Keonn AdvanMux-16

AdvanMux-16 is a high performance 16 port multiplexer that expands by a factor 16 the number of antennas that can be connected to each port of an RFID reader.

AdvanMux-16 is compatible with most RFID reader models in the market, including 
Keonn, Impinj, Zebra, Alien, ThingMagic and others.

AdvanMux-16 is connected to the I/O port of most reader models, and it is 
controlled by sending simple commands to the reader. This facilitates the control of 
AdvanMux-16 and its synchronization with the reader. Any port of AdvanMux-16 can be 
selected at any time. 

AdvanMux-16 can be directly connected to AdvanReader-100 and AdvanReader-150 
through a conventional Ethernet cable. 

For other reader models, a reader-specific cable adapter or the AdvanGPIO 
connection board can be ordered that connect the digital I/O port of the reader to 
one of the two RJ45 control ports of AdvanMux-16 multiplexer. The following picture 
shows the cable adapter for a specific reader model and the AdvanGPIO connection 
board.

The cable adapter can be easily extended to the required length using regular 
Ethernet 8-wire cables. 

Two RJ45 control connectors are available at each AdvanMux-16 so that one 
multiplexer can control and power another multiplexer by a simple Ethernet 8-wire 
cable connection.

AdvanMux-16 can be controlled both by standard +5 V and open collector digital 
outputs. 

AdvanMux-16 can be powered from +5 V DC to + 48 V DC. This power can be 
obtained from a power supply or by the available voltage in some reader’s I/O ports. 

The input RF connector and the 16 output RF connectors are SMA (female). 

Four red LED diodes show the digital-in status and one white LED shows the power 
on status.
