Product Features
Technical Overview
This DuoProx II card operates at 125 kHz frequency for proximity reading, ensuring reliable performance with HID's extensive reader lineup. The magnetic stripe provides a backup or alternative authentication method, maintaining functionality even in environments where proximity readers may experience temporary issues.
The card's physical construction uses durable polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material, offering resistance to everyday wear while maintaining consistent performance across both technologies. The 29.92 mil thickness ensures proper fit in card readers and badge holders without compromising durability.

Key Product Advantages
The DuoProx II card delivers practical advantages for security administrators through its dual-technology approach and standardized form factor. By combining proximity and magnetic stripe capabilities, organizations can implement layered security protocols or maintain backward compatibility with existing infrastructure.
Dual Authentication Methods
Provides both contactless proximity reading and magnetic stripe swiping capabilities in a single credential, allowing flexible deployment across different reader types and security requirements.
- RF proximity for hands-free access
- Magnetic stripe for swipe-based systems
- Single credential supports both technologies
Standardized Form Factor
Follows credit card dimensions (3.37" x 2.13") for universal compatibility with badge holders, lanyards, and wallet slots while maintaining proper functionality in all supported readers.
- Fits standard badge accessories
- Compatible with card reader slots
- Maintains professional appearance
Customizable Identification
Printable surface allows for employee photos, names, logos, and security markings, creating visually identifiable credentials that support both electronic and visual verification processes.
- Supports full-color printing
- Allows corporate branding
- Enables photo identification
Deployment / Use Cases
This card excels in environments requiring flexible access control solutions or transitional security system upgrades. Organizations migrating from magnetic stripe to proximity systems can issue these dual-technology cards during the transition period, ensuring all users maintain access regardless of which reader type is available at each location.
Educational institutions, corporate offices, and healthcare facilities benefit from the ability to use the same credential for different security zones. The proximity function works for main entrance readers while the magnetic stripe can control specialized equipment access or time tracking systems, creating a unified credential ecosystem.

FAQ
What types of readers are compatible with this DuoProx II card?
This card is compatible with multiple HID reader models including ProxPoint Plus, MiniProx, ThinLine II, ProxPro, ProxPro II, Prox80, MaxiProx, EntryProx, and pcProx. The 125 kHz proximity technology works with HID's proximity reader lineup, while the magnetic stripe functions with standard swipe readers. This broad compatibility makes the card suitable for environments with mixed reader types or during system migration periods.
Can this card be printed with custom information and logos?
Yes, the DuoProx II card features a printable surface that supports custom printing of employee photos, names, identification numbers, company logos, and security markings. This allows organizations to create visually identifiable credentials that serve both electronic access control and visual verification purposes. The white PVC material provides an excellent printing surface for high-quality, durable impressions that maintain clarity through daily use.
What are the exact dimensions of this ID card?
The card measures 3.37 inches wide by 2.13 inches tall (85.60 mm x 53.97 mm), which matches standard credit card dimensions. The thickness is 29.92 mil (0.76 mm), ensuring proper fit in card readers, badge holders, and wallet slots. These standardized dimensions guarantee compatibility with most badge accessories and reader mechanisms while maintaining a professional appearance that fits seamlessly into workplace environments.
How does the dual technology (proximity and magnetic stripe) work?
The card contains both an RF proximity chip operating at 125 kHz and a magnetic stripe on the reverse side. The proximity technology allows contactless reading when the card is brought near compatible readers, while the magnetic stripe can be swiped through traditional reader slots. This dual capability provides flexibility in deployment, allowing the same credential to work with different reader types throughout a facility or during technology transition periods.
What material is used for the card construction?
The card is constructed from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a durable plastic material commonly used for ID cards and security credentials. PVC offers excellent resistance to bending, cracking, and everyday wear while maintaining consistent performance for both proximity and magnetic stripe technologies. The white color provides a clean background for printing and maintains a professional appearance throughout the card's service life.
What warranty coverage does this HID card include?
HID provides a lifetime limited warranty for this DuoProx II card, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product. This warranty reflects the durable construction and reliable performance expected from professional security credentials. The lifetime coverage provides assurance for long-term deployments and helps organizations plan credential replacement cycles with confidence in product longevity.
