An electrode lead having a plug for connecting to an implant having a control device and a communication antenna connected to the control device, and having at least one electrical conductor and one insulating tube insulating the at least one electrical conductor. To simply/reliably transmit information of the electrode lead to the implant (with a low expenditure of energy), a hermetically sealed passive RFID label is embedded: in the insulating tube, and/or in the plug, or in an insulating body of a separate additional part connectable to the insulating tube or the plug. The RFID label has an RFID chip and an inlay antenna connected in an electrically conducting manner to the RFID chip. The inlay antenna is electromagnetically coupled to the at least one electrical conductor and the communication antenna. A corresponding method for identifying an electrode lead and a corresponding implant are also contemplated.
