Some hail these as Black Magic, others think they are subpar nunchucks.
I use them to relocate my NFC Reader and i am just happy they function.
Coming in at 60mm x 0.8mm these will extend your NFC field from point to point. Pretty self explainatory but ill do my best to help out the hooligans in the back. Place one on or near a reader, and place the 2nd device where you wish the reader was. Poof, you are no longer tethered to the bulky predisposed position of the pesky importable reader.
But Why?
Usecases for this could be relocating a door access reader inside of the building and placing this extender on the outside in a weather box to reduce RFIDKey attacks.
Use with Mobile payment terminals to have a more convenient spot under a deskmat or kiosk.
Personally, i use this on my computer desk with an out of the way hidden Reader so i dont need the bulky reader up top.
But Ham... What about Implants?
Look not everything i do is implant specific. But i didnt forget about you. These "will" work with implants if a repeater is added in the middle of the extended antenna. I plan to make a smaller version of these that will be perfect for implants and not need the repeater sticker. However these large units just dont shape the field well enough for them.
OPTIONS OPTIONS OPTIONS
Like most of the products I offer, I like to offer options to those indecisive types (me).
Standard ($45)- Comes with a JST Connector and your choice of 15cm cable or 30cm cable (5$ more)
Pro ($55)- Comes with a IPEX1 (U.FL) connector and your choice of 15cm cable or 30cm cable (5$ more).
ProSMA ($60)- This is a limited quantity version that will come with an SMA connection. This was a test run and i was unhappy with the results as SMA adds additional capacetence to the unit and it functions less well over larger distances. These will be a one and done run unless interest trumps my decision and enough of you ask for it. No Included Cables for these but i have a few available (12in and 24in for 5$)
Both the pro and the standard are the same size, same components, the only difference is the cable and connection type. The pro version is for those that want a sleeker look with a bit more options for the future.
Watch this space as i intend to add a 27mm version to this as well.
