HID 20NKS-03-0086UQ Signo 20 Reader, Black/Silver, Pigtail Connection
When you're deploying access control in environments where traditional wiring isn't feasible or you need flexibility during installation, a reader with pigtail termination eliminates the need for dedicated back boxes and simplifies rough-in. The HID Signo 20 delivers multi-technology credential support in a compact profile designed for interior door applications where you need reliable reads without the bulk of larger form factors.
Key Features
- Multi-technology support reads HID Prox, iCLASS SE, and mobile credentials from a single reader
- Pigtail cable termination provides installation flexibility without requiring junction boxes
- Compact design suitable for interior doors and space-constrained mounting locations
- Black and silver finish complements modern architectural hardware
- LED and beeper feedback confirms credential presentation to users
- Wiegand output ensures compatibility with most commercial access control panels
- Tamper-resistant design protects against unauthorized removal
- Operating temperature range supports standard interior environments
The Signo 20 addresses the migration challenge many integrators face when clients need to support legacy proximity cards while transitioning to more secure credential technologies. Rather than maintaining separate reader infrastructure, this platform handles multiple formats simultaneously, allowing phased upgrades without ripping out existing hardware. The pigtail termination simplifies retrofit installations where concealed wiring already exists, and the compact profile fits mounting locations where full-size mullion readers won't work.
For system designers specifying HID ecosystems, the Signo 20 integrates directly with iCLASS SE infrastructure while maintaining backward compatibility with 125 kHz proximity. Standard Wiegand output means you're not locked into proprietary panels, and the visual/audible feedback eliminates the "did it read?" questions that generate help desk calls. Whether you're outfitting a multi-tenant office building or upgrading a facility from prox to smart credentials, this reader delivers the flexibility to support current requirements while protecting the investment as security standards evolve.
