Honeywell OKP2N26SP OmniClass 16K PVC Smart Card

Overview

The Honeywell OKP2N26SP is an OmniClass 16K PVC smart card credential designed for commercial access control deployments. Built on the OmniClass platform, this card carries 16K of on-card memory in a standard PVC card form factor — the same dimensions as a typical ISO credit card — making it straightforward to issue, badge-print, and carry. If you are already running an OmniClass-based access control infrastructure, the OKP2N26SP is the factory-new replacement or expansion card to source. For environments evaluating OmniClass for the first time, the 16K memory tier supports a broader range of credential data storage than entry-level cards, accommodating multi-application use cases such as combining access control data with visitor management or time-and-attendance records on a single card.

Key Features

• OmniClass 16K Memory: 16 kilobytes of card memory gives you room to store access permissions, cardholder data, and additional application data on the credential itself — useful when the back-end system is offline or when running multi-site deployments where card-resident data reduces reader dependency.
• Standard PVC Card Construction: ISO credit-card dimensions mean the OKP2N26SP fits existing card holders, lanyards, and most badge printers without retooling your issuance workflow.
• OmniClass Platform Compatibility: Designed for use with Honeywell OmniClass readers and controllers in commercial access control systems — no cross-platform guesswork when specifying credentials for an existing OmniClass installation.
• Commercial-Grade Construction: PVC card body is the standard for high-volume enterprise credential programs, balancing durability with cost-effective per-card pricing for large cardholder populations.

Integration and Compatibility

The OKP2N26SP is engineered for use within the Honeywell access control ecosystem. Confirm your reader model and controller firmware support the OmniClass 16K credential format before purchasing — OmniClass readers vary in supported card memory tiers. If your deployment uses a mix of card technologies, consult your system documentation to verify OmniClass compatibility at each reader head. For large-scale deployments, pair with a card management system that supports OmniClass encoding to streamline issuance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What access control systems is the OKP2N26SP compatible with?

A: The OKP2N26SP is designed for use with Honeywell OmniClass readers and access control systems. Verify that your specific reader model supports the OmniClass 16K card format before ordering.

Q: What does the 16K designation mean on the OKP2N26SP?

A: 16K refers to the card's on-board memory capacity (16 kilobytes). Higher memory capacity allows storage of more credential data — such as multi-application or multi-site access permissions — directly on the card.

Q: Is the OKP2N26SP a proximity card or a smart card?

A: The OKP2N26SP is an OmniClass smart card, which uses contactless smart card technology — not a simple 125kHz proximity card. OmniClass supports higher security and greater data capacity than standard prox credentials.

Q: Can the OKP2N26SP be printed with a badge printer?

A: The standard PVC card form factor is compatible with most ID badge printers. Confirm your printer supports printing on PVC smart cards and that your encoding station supports OmniClass before issuing.

Jerry Tildsen

The OKP2N26SP is a straightforward OmniClass 16K PVC credential — the key spec to confirm before you order is that your installed OmniClass readers support the 16K memory tier, not just the base OmniClass format. Mismatched memory tiers are the most common ordering error I see on OmniClass card replenishment projects.

Technical Highlights:

• 16K On-Card Memory: Supports multi-application credential data storage on the card itself, reducing reader-side processing requirements in distributed or offline-capable deployments.
• PVC Card Form Factor: Standard ISO dimensions integrate with existing badge issuance hardware — no specialized card stock or printer retooling required for most enterprise badge programs.
• OmniClass Platform: Card-to-reader compatibility is tightly governed within the OmniClass ecosystem; sourcing factory-new, genuine OKP2N26SP cards avoids encoding failures caused by grey-market or counterfeit stock.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm reader firmware and controller version support for OmniClass 16K before issuing cards at scale — a firmware gap can prevent cards from enrolling correctly.
• If your deployment mixes OmniClass with legacy 125kHz prox readers at any door, the OKP2N26SP will not work at those legacy reader heads; a dual-technology card may be the better credential choice for transition environments.

The OKP2N26SP is the correct replenishment credential for established OmniClass 16K deployments in corporate campuses, healthcare facilities, or multi-tenant commercial buildings where cardholder data density justifies the 16K memory tier over lower-capacity OmniClass variants.
