Desktop USB readers and writers for LF/HF enrollment and selected card-memory tasks. Keyboard, command and multi-protocol options must be chosen for the host application and credential.
One desktop unit for 125 kHz EM and 13.56 MHz MIFARE, DESFire, ICODE, CPU and NFC Forum tags, with switchable USB HID/CDC modes and active or command-driven reading.
Metal-framed USB desktop reader in five versions, from 125 kHz EM and 13.56 MHz UID read-only up to MIFARE sector, DESFire, NTAG and ICODE read/write. Driver-free.
HF desktop reader/writer for MIFARE, DESFire, FeliCa, ICODE, CPU and NFC Forum Type 1–5 tags, with two SAM slots, 0–4 cm range and switchable USB HID/CDC.
Square 107 mm USB desktop reader: 125 kHz EM or 13.56 MHz UID read-only versions, plus encoders for MIFARE Classic sectors, CPU cards, DESFire EV1 files and NTAG.
Entry-level USB desktop card reader in 125 kHz EM, 13.56 MHz UID and dual-frequency versions; one dual model also writes MIFARE Classic sectors. Driver-free.
PC desktop products range from compact number-capture readers to read/write configurations and a multi-protocol issuing unit. Frequency and supported operations differ by variant, so choose the credential first and then verify the required command or output mode.
Keyboard emulation enters the number in the active software field. Match decimal or hexadecimal presentation, byte order and any selected data to the entrance reader. PC-140 lists switchable HID/CDC operation, while PC-150 adds dual SAM slots for issuing workflows that actually use compatible secure modules and software.
A USB connection alone does not establish PC/SC support or guarantee an encoding function. Test the selected model with the host software and credentials. The USB enrollment guide explains how to compare the desktop result with the access controller’s stored record.
125 kHz cards are cheap but easy to clone; 13.56 MHz cards add memory and, on DESFire-class chips, AES security. Compare range, chips, security and migration.
Wiegand 26-bit is an even parity bit, 8-bit facility code, 16-bit card number and odd parity bit. Convert card numbers to hex and back with the calculator.
MIFARE Classic's Crypto1 is broken and its cards can be copied; DESFire EV2/EV3 support AES-128. Compare security, memory and cost, then plan your migration.
Apartment building access control hardware: anti-clone readers with matched fob sets, QR visitor codes, 4G controllers for rentals and UHF tags for gates.
Elevator card readers for car panels and lift lobbies: anti-clone encrypted cards, QR codes for visitors, Wiegand or RS485 output to the floor controller.
Gym access control system hardware for 24/7 clubs: fob and wristband readers, face and QR terminals, anti-passback controllers and no-touch exit buttons.
No. Keyboard output captures a number. Encoding needs the reader/writer’s supported command mode and suitable host software.
PC-150 lists two SAM slots. A working issuing setup also requires the appropriate SAM configuration, authorized keys and software.
Not necessarily. Match the data source, byte order and display format, then compare both readers using the same sample credential.
