High Security RFID Cable Seal – NFC & HF/UHF RFID Wire Seal for Containers, Trailers & Cargo
1. Introduction: Smart RFID Cable Seal for Supply Chain Security
In international logistics and cargo transportation, container seals are vital to ensure tamper evidence, cargo integrity, and customs compliance. The High Security RFID Cable Seal combines a mechanical pull-tight wire seal with embedded RFID technology (NFC, HF, or UHF), offering both physical protection and digital tracking.
With its durable metal locking body and RFID-enabled chip, it allows fast electronic verification, real-time tracking, and secure lifecycle monitoring, making it ideal for containers, trailers, trucks, and high-value cargo shipments.
2. What is an RFID Cable Seal?
An RFID cable seal is a one-time-use, tamper-proof locking device with an integrated RFID chip. It provides:
-
Physical sealing with a steel cable that cannot be removed without cutting.
-
Unique RFID ID for electronic verification.
-
Compliance with ISO 17712 high-security standards (optional).
This makes it indispensable for logistics providers, customs authorities, and cargo owners who need to ensure traceability and security.
