Product Features
Technical Overview
This adhesive tag implements Wiegand encryption with a 3-byte key size, providing a secure foundation for access control credentials. The 256-byte memory capacity enables storage of multiple application datasets, supporting flexible credential management across different security zones or functional requirements. Compliance with ISO 15693 standards ensures interoperability with smart card infrastructure and maintains compatibility with established security protocols.
The 13.56 MHz operating frequency aligns with common proximity card systems, while the adhesive backing mechanism eliminates the need for specialized mounting hardware. Each tag measures 1.30 inches in diameter with a 2-millimeter thickness, creating a discreet footprint that integrates seamlessly into existing environments without disrupting visual aesthetics or physical workflows.
This section brings together practical product details such as Smart Card/Tag Thickness, Smart Card/Tag Diameter, Operating Frequency, Memory Size, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This adhesive tag format provides installation flexibility that traditional card-based credentials cannot match. The adhesive backing enables secure attachment to non-metallic surfaces without requiring specialized holders or carriers, reducing deployment complexity and hardware costs. Pre-programmed with inkjet matching numbers, each tag offers immediate traceability for inventory control and replacement management.
Simplified Deployment
Adhesive backing eliminates need for card holders or specialized mounting hardware, enabling quick installation on various non-metallic surfaces.
- No additional mounting hardware required
- Suitable for curved or irregular surfaces
- Reduces installation time and complexity
Enhanced Security Integration
Wiegand 26-bit encoding with 3-byte key encryption provides secure credential transmission compatible with existing access control infrastructure.
- Standard Wiegand protocol support
- 256-byte memory for multiple applications
- Compatible with HID iCLASS reader ecosystem
Deployment / Use Cases
These adhesive tags excel in environments where traditional card formats present logistical challenges. Their low-profile design and adhesive mounting make them ideal for attaching to employee badges, equipment cases, or inventory items that require secure identification without bulky card carriers. The 10-pack configuration supports departmental deployments, small office installations, or supplemental credential provisioning for existing security systems.
Common applications include temporary access provisioning for contractors or visitors, asset tracking for high-value equipment, and supplementary credentials for environments where carrying traditional cards proves impractical. The adhesive backing ensures secure attachment to materials like plastic, wood, or composite surfaces while maintaining the tag's functionality across the compatible HID iCLASS reader portfolio.
Asset Management
Attach tags to equipment, tools, or inventory items for secure tracking and access control integration within facility management systems.
Supplemental Access
Provide additional credentials for visitors, contractors, or temporary staff without issuing permanent access cards or badges.
