HID 2100PG1CN Composite iClass 2K/2 Programmable Credential
When you're specifying credentials for mid-security access deployments where durability matters but full polycarbonate pricing doesn't fit the budget, composite construction delivers the balance you need. The HID 2100PG1CN combines iClass 13.56 MHz contactless technology with a composite card body that resists daily wear in office, educational, and light industrial environments. The programmable 2K bit memory configuration gives you flexibility to encode custom data structures and multi-application credentials without locking into pre-programmed templates.
Key Features
- iClass 13.56 MHz contactless smart card technology for reliable read range and performance
- 2K bit (2 application areas) programmable memory structure supports custom encoding schemes
- Composite card construction balances durability with cost-effectiveness for volume deployments
- Standard CR80 credit card form factor (85.6mm x 54mm) fits all standard card printers and holders
- Programmable configuration allows encoding during issuance rather than requiring pre-programmed inventory
- Compatible with HID iClass readers and multi-technology readers supporting iClass protocol
- Suitable for access control, time and attendance, and cashless vending applications
- Printable surface accepts dye sublimation and thermal transfer card printer output
Composite credentials make sense when you're issuing hundreds or thousands of cards where polycarbonate's extreme durability isn't justified by the environment. The 2K/2 memory configuration means you can partition the credential for multiple applications—physical access on one sector, logical access or meal plan data on another—without requiring separate cards. Programmable memory lets you maintain flexibility in your encoding workflow, eliminating the lead time and inventory management headaches of pre-encoded credentials.
The iClass platform integrates with most enterprise access control systems from HID-compatible panels, giving you a migration path from legacy proximity technology without replacing reader infrastructure if you're running multi-technology readers. Standard CR80 sizing ensures compatibility with your existing card printing equipment and badge holder stock.
