HID 20NKS-03-016B91 Signo 20 Reader with Pigtail Cable, Custom Configuration FIPS 200-bit
When you need FIPS 201-compliant credential management with flexible deployment options, this Signo 20 reader delivers government-grade authentication in a multi-technology package. The pigtail cable configuration simplifies installation in environments where conduit runs or pre-wired infrastructure make hardwired connections impractical. Custom-configured for high-security applications requiring 200-bit encryption, this reader handles multiple credential technologies while maintaining OSDP v2 compliance for secure, standardized communication with access control panels.
Key Features
- FIPS 200-bit encryption for government and high-security facility compliance
- Multi-technology platform reads 13.56 MHz contactless credentials including iCLASS SE, iCLASS Sero, and mobile credentials
- OSDP v2 (Open Supervised Device Protocol) support ensures encrypted, bidirectional panel communication
- Pigtail cable connection simplifies retrofit installations and challenging wire routing scenarios
- Black and silver housing options allow aesthetic matching to architectural requirements
- CSN (Card Serial Number) support for legacy credential migration strategies
- NFC-enabled for mobile credentialing and smartphone-based access workflows
- Custom ICE0052 configuration optimized for specific deployment requirements
The Signo 20 platform addresses the integration challenge of balancing security requirements with operational flexibility. The pigtail cable design eliminates the need for knockout modifications or precise conduit alignment during installation, reducing labor time on retrofit projects where existing reader locations don't align with new infrastructure. OSDP v2 implementation provides AES-128 encrypted communication between reader and panel, preventing credential data interception while enabling remote reader management and firmware updates through the access control system.
This reader handles the transition phase many facilities face when moving from legacy proximity systems to modern encrypted credentials. CSN support allows continued operation of existing cards during phased migration, while the multi-technology read head prepares infrastructure for Seos, mobile, and other advanced credential formats. The FIPS 200-bit configuration meets federal PIV requirements and similar high-security standards in healthcare, finance, and critical infrastructure applications where credential authentication must comply with specific encryption mandates.
