Operating in KSF format with 4086X compatibility, this credential solution delivers reliable performance for organizations deploying enterprise-scale physical access control infrastructure.

Key Features

  • Standard clamshell card form factor for durability and ease of use

  • Compatible with Kantech access control platforms and HID proximity readers
  • Integrates seamlessly with Kantech door control and reader infrastructure
  • Bulk ordering supports multi-site credential issuance programs

Technical Highlights

The SH-C1 operates within proven proximity card standards, providing reliable authentication across distributed access control networks. Its clamshell design offers superior durability compared to thin-profile alternatives, making it suitable for high-traffic environments and organizations prioritizing long-term credential lifecycle management. The card's compatibility with both Kantech native systems and HID-standard readers eliminates proprietary lock-in, allowing flexibility in mixed-vendor deployments.
