Product Features
Technical Overview
This ID card integrates an embedded RF proximity chip with a magnetic stripe, allowing flexible deployment in mixed-technology access environments. The 125 kHz proximity technology provides consistent read ranges with HID's Prox family readers.
The printable surface accepts dye-sublimation or thermal transfer printing for permanent visual customization. Physical construction uses durable PVC material that withstands daily handling while maintaining card integrity and magnetic stripe readability.
This section brings together practical product details such as Technology, Media Type, Smart Card/Tag Width, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.
Key Product Advantages
The DuoProx II Card eliminates the need for separate proximity and magnetic stripe credentials by combining both technologies in one standardized format. This dual-function design reduces credential management complexity while maintaining backward compatibility with existing magnetic stripe readers during system transitions.
Dual Authentication Support
Provides both contactless RF proximity and magnetic stripe swipe capabilities from a single card, enabling phased technology migrations and mixed reader environments.
- Single credential for two technologies
- Backward compatibility with magnetic stripe systems
- Future-ready for RF proximity upgrades
Customizable Visual Design
Printable surface accepts high-quality full-color printing for corporate branding, employee photos, and identification details without affecting RF or magnetic stripe performance.
- Professional appearance with custom printing
- Dye-sublimation compatible
- Permanent printed graphics
Deployment / Use Cases
This card serves organizations transitioning from magnetic stripe to proximity access control systems, allowing continued use of existing magnetic stripe readers while deploying new proximity readers. The dual-technology approach supports phased upgrades without requiring immediate replacement of all reader hardware.
Ideal for corporate campuses, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and government buildings where different departments or buildings may use different access technologies. The printable surface enables visual identification requirements while the standardized credit card dimensions ensure compatibility with badge holders, lanyards, and wallet slots.
Technology Migration Scenarios
Deploy as a universal credential during access control system upgrades, maintaining magnetic stripe functionality in some areas while enabling proximity access in newly upgraded locations.
Mixed Environment Support
Support facilities with both proximity readers for main entrances and magnetic stripe readers for interior doors or legacy systems, all with a single credential type.

FAQ
What technologies does this HID DuoProx II Card support?
This card supports both RF proximity technology operating at 125 kHz and magnetic stripe technology. The dual-technology design allows the same card to work with proximity readers for contactless access and magnetic stripe readers for swipe-based authentication, making it ideal for organizations with mixed or transitioning access control systems.
Can I print custom designs on this ID card?
Yes, the HID DuoProx II Card features a printable surface that accepts dye-sublimation or thermal transfer printing. You can add employee photos, corporate logos, identification text, and other visual elements without affecting the RF proximity chip or magnetic stripe functionality. The white PVC material provides an excellent background for clear, professional printing results.
What HID readers are compatible with this card?
This card is compatible with multiple HID reader families including ProxPoint Plus, MiniProx, ThinLine II, ProxPro, ProxPro II, Prox80, MaxiProx, EntryProx, and pcProx models. The 125 kHz operating frequency ensures reliable performance across these proximity reader platforms while the magnetic stripe works with standard swipe readers.
What are the physical dimensions of this card?
The card measures 3.37" (85.60 mm) in width by 2.13" (53.97 mm) in length, with a thickness of 29.92 mil (0.76 mm). These standard credit card dimensions ensure compatibility with most card printers, badge holders, lanyards, and wallet slots. The card weighs 0.01 lb (6.80 g) for practical daily carrying.
What material is used for this ID card?
The HID DuoProx II Card is constructed from Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), a durable plastic material commonly used for ID cards and access credentials. PVC offers excellent durability for daily handling, maintains card rigidity for reliable reader insertion, and provides a smooth surface that accepts high-quality printing while protecting the embedded RF chip.
What warranty comes with this HID DuoProx II Card?
HID provides a lifetime limited warranty for this DuoProx II Card. This warranty covers manufacturing defects and ensures the card maintains its specified RF proximity and magnetic stripe functionality throughout its service life when used with compatible HID readers under normal operating conditions.
What connectivity or interface options are available?
Connectivity details help confirm how the product integrates with your network, accessories, and surrounding peripherals before rollout or replacement planning. They are often the difference between a technically compatible device and one that is genuinely easy to deploy.
