13.56 MHz Classic 1K-Compatible Smart Card: overview
CA-170 is a 13.56 MHz smart-card family for installations that use Classic 1K-compatible credentials. The two documented chip choices for this configuration are FM11RF08 and MIFARE Classic S50. These are distinct chip choices, so an order using the compatible alternative must not be treated as an order for the other chip without agreement.
The card's listed memory is 1,024 bytes, organized into sixteen independent sectors with two key sets for each sector. This structure supports installations that store application data rather than using only a visible card number. Compatibility still depends on the reader's card operations, sector allocation and keys; frequency alone does not determine whether existing software can read the issued card.
The stated card size is 86 × 54 × 0.87 mm, with PVC and PET material options. Antenna assembly is described as ultrasonic wire embedding and automatic welding. Reader distance is listed as 2.5–10 cm, and the communication rate is 106 kbaud. Check those values with the actual reader and finished card, particularly if the project requires a specific presentation distance.
Operation is specified at –20 to +85 °C, with data retention above ten years. Before issuing a batch, define the chip choice and the data format the application needs, then approve a sample on the intended equipment. No certification or tested resistance to credential copying is documented, so the product is not presented as an anti-clone security upgrade.

CA-170 FAQ
How is the memory organized?
The listed 1,024-byte EEPROM is divided into 16 sectors, with two independent key sets per sector.
Does a chip-compatible card mean the same chip is supplied?
No. FM11RF08 and MIFARE Classic S50 are distinct order choices. Specify the exact chip required.
What size and reader distance are listed?
The card measures 86 × 54 × 0.87 mm. The stated reader distance is 2.5–10 cm.
What temperature is specified?
The listed operating range is –20 to +85 °C. No ingress rating is supplied.
