RFID range

I feel like a real novice asking this question. Can the 28140 serial RFID reader read a tag through either a solid dark colored plastic or clear tinted acrylic project box or do I need to mount the reader outside the box? This is my first time working with RFID modules. Thanks.

    Going through a plastic case will be no problem for the reader. A metal case would be a different story..

    Invent-O-Doc,

    Thank you. So, regardless if I use a solid black plastic case or a translucent acrylic case, the rf will still pass through? I figured the metal box would cause interference.
