Blank Programmable Cards

4-byte CSN 32-bit (passthrough)

125 kHz LF / 13.56 MHz CSN C-tier format

A factory-fresh, rewritable 4-byte CSN 32-bit (passthrough) — the programmable blank our compatible 125 kHz proximity credentials 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 4-byte CSN 32-bit (passthrough) works

The 4-byte CSN 32-bit (passthrough) is a dual-frequency credential operating on both 125 kHz LF and 13.56 MHz HF, so the compatible part must carry the correct data on whichever band your readers use. Its data structure is 32-bit raw card serial number passthrough, 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 4-byte CSN 32-bit (passthrough) 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 / T5577 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 Standard / Generic 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.

4-byte CSN 32-bit (passthrough) — common questions

Is this a genuine Generic card or a compatible one?

It is an independently manufactured compatible credential — engineered to the same specification as the 4-byte CSN 32-bit (passthrough) so it reads identically on your existing readers, but it is not an Generic-branded product. Security ID Systems is independent and not affiliated with Generic; your access-control panel accepts the credential exactly the same way.

What chip is the compatible 4-byte CSN 32-bit (passthrough) encoded on?

It is encoded on a Genuine NXP MIFARE Classic / T5577 programmable chip. That platform reproduces the original 125 kHz LF / 13.56 MHz CSN 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 4-byte CSN 32-bit (passthrough)?

It operates on 125 kHz LF / 13.56 MHz CSN, using 32-bit raw card serial number passthrough, 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 Standard / Generic 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.
