Pigtail Cables
TSL readers use a shielded 8-wire pigtail wiring loom with a Hirose socket plug for connection to the reader. A
standard 34cm cable is supplied with the reader, while a 3.5m long cable option is also available.

Ferrite Shield
A ferrite shield, also known as a noise suppression sheet, is designed to reduce electromagnetic interference and
may help to improve read range for readers mounted on a metal surface. The shield is placed between the reader
and the mounting surface to suppress interference caused by the reader's proximity to the metal surface.
The effectiveness of using a ferrite shield to improve read range is determined by many factors, including the
mounting surface material and installation environment, and may not necessarily produce the desired result.
Testing should be performed to assess effectiveness before planning installation on multiple readers.
A
surface mount box
is recommended as the preferred solution for interference caused by metal mounting
surfaces. A surface mount box is generally more effective at reducing interference and improving read range as it
distances the reader from direct contact with the mounting surface, breaking the 'path of transfer'.
