2N 02788-001 MIFARE DESFire EV3 Fobs 10-Pack

Overview

The 02788-001 is a 10-pack of 2N MIFARE DESFire EV3 contactless credential fobs designed for enterprise access control systems. Each fob carries 4096 bytes of programmable storage and supports advanced encryption (AES-128 and 3DES), enabling organizations to issue single multi-application credentials instead of multiple physical fobs per user. The 13.56 MHz ISO/IEC 14443 Type A interface delivers fast, contact-free reads without physical wear—critical for high-volume facilities like data centers, office campuses, and multi-tenant buildings where credential durability and seamless handoff matter.

Compatibility

These fobs integrate directly with 2N Access Control platforms and Axis networked access control readers. Compliance with industry-standard MIFARE DESFire EV3 and ISO/IEC 14443 Type A ensures compatibility across third-party enterprise access control systems and reader networks that support the standard. Confirm your reader firmware supports DESFire EV3 before deployment; older readers may require firmware updates or credential conversion workflows. 4K memory capacity supports multiple independent applications on a single fob—useful for stacked credentials (building access + parking + cafeteria systems).

Installation Notes

Fobs are pre-configured for Axis and 2N ecosystem deployment but require credential encoding in your access control software before issuance. Encode credentials using your VMS or access control platform's credential issuance tool—no additional hardware needed. Store unused fobs in a dry environment and away from strong magnetic fields or RF interference to preserve memory integrity. Mutual authentication (fob-to-reader handshake) prevents replay attacks and credential cloning; this is automatic and requires no additional configuration beyond enabling encryption in your reader settings.
