    Abstract: A RFID tag includes a metal plate member and a steel rope, wherein the metal plate member includes a first surface and the second surface which are opposite to each other, and has a punched portion and an unpunched portion. The punched portion forms at least one protruded sheet. The metal plate member has at least one protruded sheet protruding in a direction from the second surface toward the first surface to stand above the first surface of the unpunched portion, thereby to form a channel between the protruded sheet and a level corresponding to the first surface of the unpunched portion. The steel rope passes through the channel, and is clasped by the protruded sheet and first surface of the unpunched portion, so that a portion of the steel rope is curved from the first surface to the second surface.
