HID 20NKS-00-00004C Signo 20 Black/Silver Pigtail Card Profile Standard Reader
When you're deploying HID's Signo ecosystem and need flexible mounting or retrofit installations, the pigtail connection format eliminates panel punch-outs and simplifies service calls. This standard-profile reader gives you HID Mobile Access and multi-technology credential support in a compact footprint that fits tight door frames, turnstile posts, and cabinet enclosures where traditional mounting plates won't work.
Key Features
- Pigtail wire termination for direct connection without mounting backplates or enclosures
- Signo platform supports HID Mobile Access, Seos, iCLASS SE, and legacy proximity formats
- Standard card profile optimized for wall-mount and surface installations
- Black and silver two-tone housing for modern aesthetic in commercial environments
- Secure Channel Protocol (SCP) encryption for credential data protection
- Compatible with HID Signo controllers and third-party access control panels via Wiegand output
- LED and beeper feedback for user confirmation and troubleshooting
- Operating temperature range suitable for interior and covered exterior installations
The pigtail configuration simplifies installations where you're mounting readers directly to metal door frames, glass partitions, or equipment racks. No need to drill large holes for connector housings—just route the cable and secure the reader face. For retrofits, this means you can upgrade legacy mag stripe or prox readers without patching drywall or repainting. The wire leads terminate directly to your controller or Wiegand interface, and the flexible cable routing accommodates conduit bends and tight runs that rigid connectors can't handle.
Signo's multi-technology support future-proofs your access control deployment. Start with existing proximity cards, add mobile credentials as your organization adopts smartphone access, and maintain backward compatibility across credential migrations. The standard profile keeps the reader footprint small enough for personnel doors while maintaining read range for typical card presentations. Pair with HID Signo 25 controllers for centralized management or integrate with existing panels via standard Wiegand protocol.
