Legacy OEM Proximity

Kantech KSF 32-bit compatible card

125 kHz LF C-tier format

A compatible replacement for Indala/Kantech KSF 32-bit (KFS) — a 125 kHz proximity credential, encoded by specification to read identically on your existing readers, matched to your facility code and card number. Order single spares or bulk quantities at a fraction of OEM list pricing.

How the compatible Indala/Kantech KSF 32-bit (KFS) works

The Indala/Kantech KSF 32-bit (KFS) is a 125 kHz low-frequency proximity credential — the band most legacy prox readers use. Its data structure is 32-bit Indala/Kantech KFS Wiegand: 8-bit site + 16-bit card (Kantech Secure Format on HID/Shadow Prox readers), >16.7M unique codes; Distinct from XSF ioProx. 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.

We build the compatible Indala/Kantech KSF 32-bit (KFS) by encoding the identical data structure onto a programmable T5577 chip. Once written, the reader cannot tell the difference between our credential and the original — it presents the same bits, the same facility code, and the same card number. That is what "compatible by specification" means: not a generic look-alike, but a credential engineered to read exactly as the original does, matched to your facility code and card-number range.

To order, tell us the part number or format printed on your existing Kantech 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.

Indala/Kantech KSF 32-bit (KFS) — common questions

Is this a genuine Kantech card or a compatible one?

It is an independently manufactured compatible credential — engineered to the same specification as the Indala/Kantech KSF 32-bit (KFS) so it reads identically on your existing readers, but it is not an Kantech-branded product. Security ID Systems is independent and not affiliated with Kantech; your access-control panel accepts the credential exactly the same way.

What chip is the compatible Indala/Kantech KSF 32-bit (KFS) encoded on?

It is encoded on a T5577 programmable chip. That platform reproduces the original 125 kHz LF 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 Indala/Kantech KSF 32-bit (KFS)?

It operates on 125 kHz LF, using 32-bit indala/kantech kfs wiegand: 8-bit site + 16-bit card (kantech secure format on hid/shadow prox readers), >16.7m unique codes; distinct from xsf ioprox. 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 Kantech 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.
