HID 2100PG1SN Composite iClass 2K/2 Programmable Proximity Card
When your access control deployment spans legacy Prox and newer iClass readers, carrying separate credentials becomes a workflow bottleneck. The HID 2100PG1SN delivers dual-technology operation in a single composite card, letting credentialed users authenticate at both 125 kHz proximity and 13.56 MHz iClass SE readers without juggling multiple badges. The programmable architecture supports site-specific customization for multi-building campuses, phased migrations, or environments where visitor and employee credential paths diverge.
Key Features
- Dual-technology credential supports both 125 kHz Prox and 13.56 MHz iClass SE platforms
- 2K-bit (256 byte) memory with two application areas for segmented access policies
- Programmable format enables custom facility codes and credential structures
- Composite PVC construction balances durability with cost-efficiency for high-volume deployments
- Standard CR80 credit card dimensions fit existing badge holders and lanyards
- Compatible with HID Prox and iClass SE readers without firmware changes
- Printable surface accepts direct-to-card printing for photo badging integration
The dual-chip architecture solves a common integrator challenge: maintaining backward compatibility during controller upgrades. You can deploy new iClass SE infrastructure in high-security zones while legacy Prox readers remain active in parking or perimeter applications. The card authenticates seamlessly across both technologies, eliminating the training burden and credential management overhead that comes with forcing users to distinguish between reader types. The two application areas let you partition access rights—biometric templates in one segment, parking validation in another—without issuing separate cards.
Composite construction delivers adequate durability for typical office environments where cards live in badge holders rather than wallets. For installations requiring extended lifespan or frequent handling, consider upgrading to comparable credentials with polyester or PET-G cores. The printable surface integrates with standard direct-to-card printers, streamlining photo badge workflows when visual identification matters alongside electronic authentication. Program credentials using HID enrollment tools or third-party software that supports iClass SE formatting.
