APC by Schneider Electric AP9370-10 HID Proximity ID Cards, 10-Pack

Overview

The AP9370-10 is a 10-pack of HID-format proximity ID cards designed for use with APC by Schneider Electric NetBotz physical access control systems. At 2.13" wide by 3.4" tall and 0.6" thick, these cards match the standard CR-80 credit-card form factor, fitting most card holders, lanyards, and badge printers without modification. If you are provisioning a NetBotz-managed server room, data center cage, or secure equipment enclosure and need to issue credentials to staff, the AP9370-10 (often searched as AP9370 10) is the direct-compatible consumable for that ecosystem.

Proximity technology means no contact is required at the reader — cardholders present the card within range and the reader authenticates without wear to the card or reader surface. Over the lifecycle of a access control deployment, this matters: contact-based cards and readers accumulate mechanical wear that proximity avoids entirely.

Key Features

• HID Proximity Technology: Contactless authentication eliminates the swipe-and-wear cycle common to magnetic stripe systems. For a data center or server room with dozens of daily badge events per door, proximity readers and cards typically outlast their contact-based counterparts significantly.
• Standard CR-80 Card Dimensions (2.13" x 3.4"): Matches the ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 format used by nearly all badge holders, lanyards, and card printers on the market. No custom hardware needed for provisioning or carrying credentials.
• 0.6" Card Depth: The slight card thickness is consistent with clamshell-style HID proximity cards — thin enough for standard wallets and badge clips, durable enough to resist casual bending in daily-carry use.
• 10-Card Pack Quantity: Sized for small team provisioning or credential refresh cycles — enough to outfit a small access group or maintain a spare-card inventory for a single controlled zone without over-ordering bulk quantities.
• Ivory Finish: The neutral ivory color accommodates dye-sublimation or direct-thermal printing of staff photos, names, and access-tier labels without contrast problems. If your badging policy requires printed credentials, ivory backgrounds produce cleaner results than stark white under most printer profiles.
• RoHS Compliance: Meets the EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive, which matters for organizations with sustainability reporting requirements or facilities operating under EU environmental compliance frameworks.

Integration and Compatibility

These cards are designed for APC NetBotz access control environments. Before ordering, verify that your NetBotz reader modules are configured for the HID proximity frequency and card format used by the AP9370-10 — HID proximity encompasses multiple card formats (26-bit Wiegand is most common), and reader-card format alignment is a prerequisite for successful enrollment. If your facility already uses a different HID card family site-wide, confirm format compatibility with your access control administrator before introducing a new card batch. For broader physical security integration with camera and monitoring systems, these credentials pair with NetBotz sensor and camera appliances to deliver a unified environment-monitoring and access-control picture in data center and equipment room deployments.

Organizations scaling beyond a 10-card initial deployment should note that the AP9370-10 is a consumable — budget for additional packs proportional to headcount, visitor provisioning frequency, and attrition rate. A medium-sized data center team with quarterly credential audits typically cycles through multiple 10-packs per year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What access control system is the AP9370-10 designed to work with?

A: The AP9370-10 is designed for use with APC NetBotz physical access control systems. Confirm reader compatibility and card format (e.g., 26-bit Wiegand) with your NetBotz configuration before deploying.

Q: What are the physical dimensions of each card in the AP9370-10 pack?

A: Each card measures 2.13" wide by 3.4" tall by 0.6" deep — matching the standard CR-80 ID card form factor used by most badge holders and lanyards.

Q: Can these cards be printed with staff photos or names?

A: Yes. The ivory card surface is compatible with standard dye-sublimation and direct-thermal ID card printers. Verify printer compatibility with HID clamshell-style card stock before printing.

Q: How many cards are included in the AP9370-10?

A: The AP9370-10 includes 10 proximity ID cards per pack.

Q: Are the AP9370-10 cards RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The AP9370-10 cards carry RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance, suitable for facilities with EU environmental reporting requirements.

Q: Do I need special tools or programming equipment to issue these cards?

A: Card enrollment is handled through the NetBotz access control management interface — no separate programming hardware is required beyond what your existing NetBotz system provides. Consult your system administrator for the enrollment workflow specific to your deployment.

The AP9370-10 is a straightforward consumable purchase, but there are a couple of things worth getting right before you order. These are HID proximity format cards at the standard 2.13" x 3.4" CR-80 size — which means they are reader-format dependent. If your NetBotz readers are enrolled for a specific HID format (26-bit Wiegand is the most common, but 37-bit and corporate 1000 formats exist), you need to confirm these cards match that format before issuing credentials. Buying the wrong card format means enrollment will fail silently at the reader, which can be a confusing troubleshooting path on a live access control system.

Technical Highlights:

• Contactless HID Proximity: No contact required at the reader — eliminates the wear-cycle problem that degrades magnetic stripe cards and readers in high-badge-event environments like shared data center cages.
• CR-80 Form Factor (2.13" x 3.4" x 0.6"): Fits every standard badge holder, lanyard clip, and CR-80-rated ID card printer without adapter hardware — a practical detail that matters when you are issuing credentials across a mixed-vendor badge carrier environment.
• 10-Card Pack Quantity: Sized for small team provisioning or spare inventory for a single access zone — enough to cover initial deployment or a quarterly credential refresh without committing to bulk quantities.

Deployment Considerations:

• Before enrollment, verify the HID card format (bit length and facility code structure) against your NetBotz reader configuration. Mismatched formats will prevent cards from registering, and HID proximity encompasses multiple encoding schemes that are not interchangeable without reader reprogramming.
• The ivory card surface supports printed badging (photo ID, name, access tier) — but confirm your ID card printer supports clamshell-style HID proximity card stock. Some direct-thermal printers designed for thin PVC cards will jam or under-print on thicker proximity card stock.

The AP9370-10 is the right order for a NetBotz-managed server room or equipment enclosure where you need to provision or refresh credentials for a small team — particularly in environments where the badge also functions as a printed photo ID under a dual-purpose badging policy.
