The Y-TEX RFID button-style tags employ full-duplex (simultaneous signal back and forth between reader & tag) technology and weigh 6.42 grams.

These tags are encapsulated in a soft polyurethane material and are intended to be used as livestock ID where exposure to various weather environments, liquids and temperature changes are significant. The new RFID button-style tags have increased read distance and performance in noisy environments - including those with a high amount of metal and electrical interference.

Neither direct contact nor line of sight is required for accurate RFID reading. Tags can be read quickly and accurately in milliseconds through a variety of nonmetallic materials such as dirt, paint and cement.

The New Y-TEX RFID tags can be applied with the New UltraTagger Compact (orange) or the Ultra Tagger Plus (blue) which can also be used to apply other styles of Y-TEX two-piece tags.
