Blank Programmable Cards

iclass csn passthrough card compatible

13.56 MHz C-tier format

A factory-fresh, rewritable iCLASS/CSN Wiegand passthrough (56/64-bit) — the programmable blank our compatible 13.56 MHz smart cards are encoded onto, supplied loose or pre-encoded in bulk. Order single spares or bulk quantities at a fraction of OEM list pricing.

How the compatible iCLASS/CSN Wiegand passthrough (56/64-bit) works

The iCLASS/CSN Wiegand passthrough (56/64-bit) is a 13.56 MHz high-frequency contactless credential read over the ISO/IEC 14443 air interface. Its data structure is 56-bit or 64-bit raw chip serial number (CSN/UID) passed through as Wiegand, no facility code, no parity. When you present a credential, the reader decodes that exact structure and passes it to your access-control panel as a card number it recognises.

As a programmable blank, the iCLASS/CSN Wiegand passthrough (56/64-bit) is the raw material the rest of the catalogue is built on. We supply it factory-fresh and rewritable on the Genuine NXP MIFARE Classic / Picopass / iCLASS platform, so you — or we — can encode it to emulate the proximity format your readers expect. It is the backbone of every 125 kHz compatible credential we ship.

To order, tell us the part number or format printed on your existing HID card, along with your facility code and card-number range, and our specialists confirm the encoding before anything ships. Bulk and reorder quantities are welcome — pricing is a fraction of OEM list, and every credential is verified to read on your existing equipment.

iCLASS/CSN Wiegand passthrough (56/64-bit) — common questions

Is this a genuine HID iCLASS card or a compatible one?

It is an independently manufactured compatible credential — engineered to the same specification as the iCLASS/CSN Wiegand passthrough (56/64-bit) so it reads identically on your existing readers, but it is not an HID iCLASS-branded product. Security ID Systems is independent and not affiliated with HID iCLASS; your access-control panel accepts the credential exactly the same way.

What chip is the compatible iCLASS/CSN Wiegand passthrough (56/64-bit) encoded on?

It is encoded on a Genuine NXP MIFARE Classic / Picopass / iCLASS programmable chip. That platform reproduces the original 13.56 MHz data structure precisely, so the credential presents the same information your readers already accept, including the correct facility code and card number.

What frequency and format is the iCLASS/CSN Wiegand passthrough (56/64-bit)?

It operates on 13.56 MHz, using 56-bit or 64-bit raw chip serial number (csn/uid) passed through as wiegand, no facility code, no parity. Matching that exact frequency and data structure is what makes a compatible credential work — a card on the wrong band or bit length simply will not read.

Do you match my facility code and card numbers?

Yes. We encode each compatible HID credential to your specific facility code and the card-number range you provide, so the cards drop straight into your existing system. Send us the numbers printed on a working card, or a sample to read, and we confirm the encoding before production.
