Keonn AdvanMux-8

AdvanMux-8 is a high performance 8 port multiplexer that expands by a factor 8 the number of antennas that can be connected to each port of an RFID reader.

AdvanMux-8 is compatible with most RFID reader models in the market, including 
Keonn, Impinj, Zebra, Alien, ThingMagic and others. 

AdvanMux-8 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-8 
and its synchronization with the reader. Any port of AdvanMux-8 can be selected at 
any time. 

AdvanMux-8 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-8 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-8 so that one 
multiplexer can control and power another multiplexer by a simple Ethernet 8-wire 
cable connection.

AdvanMux-8 can be controlled both by standard +5 V and open collector digital 
outputs. 
AdvanMux-8 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 8 output RF connectors are SMA (female). 
Three red LED diodes show the digital-in status and one white LED shows the power 
on status.
