HID 2100HPG1MN Composite iClass 2K/2 Proximity Card
When you need dual-technology credentials that work across legacy proximity and iClass SE readers without forcing a complete system replacement, HID's composite iClass 2K/2 cards deliver both technologies in a single credential. These cards solve the migration challenge for facilities running mixed reader environments—letting you phase in iClass infrastructure while maintaining compatibility with existing 125 kHz proximity systems during the transition period.
Key Features
- Dual-technology design with iClass 13.56 MHz contactless smart card and 125 kHz proximity technologies
- 2K bit (256 byte) memory configuration with two application areas for flexible credential data management
- Composite construction balances durability with cost-effectiveness for moderate-use environments
- Standard CR80 credit card dimensions (3.375" x 2.125") fit existing badge holders and lanyards
- Compatible with HID iClass SE and legacy proximity readers without programming changes
- Printable surface accepts direct-to-card thermal transfer and dye sublimation printing
- Pre-programmed with HID corporate 1000 format, ready for immediate enrollment
- Sequential numbering available for simplified credential tracking and database management
The composite construction makes these cards appropriate for office buildings, educational campuses, and healthcare facilities where cards see regular but not extreme use. The dual-technology approach eliminates the forced choice between maintaining legacy system compatibility and deploying more secure smart card readers—you can run both reader types simultaneously during phased upgrades, issuing one credential that works everywhere.
The 2K/2 memory configuration provides two independent application areas, allowing you to store access control credentials in one sector while reserving the second for cashless vending, time-and-attendance, or print management. This multi-application capability maximizes your return on the credential investment without requiring users to carry multiple cards. The iClass component provides secure mutual authentication between card and reader, significantly improving security over proximity-only credentials while maintaining backward compatibility during system transitions.
