Product Features
Technical Overview
This reader uses cable connectivity for integration with access control systems, computers, or other security hardware. The contact/contactless dual-interface capability allows it to read ISO 7816 contact cards and 13.56 MHz contactless cards (such as MIFARE, DESFire, or iCLASS SE platforms), supporting a wide range of card technologies commonly used in government, corporate, and institutional settings.
The 1.97-inch (50 mm) operating range provides a practical read distance for contactless cards, balancing convenience with security by minimizing the risk of unintended reads. This range is optimized for typical badge-tap or wave-style interactions in access control points, time and attendance systems, or secure login stations.
