Awid CS-AWID-P-0 26-bit Proximity Clamshell Card

Product Description

The AWID CS-AWID-P-0 is a 26-bit AWID-format clamshell proximity access card used in electronic access control systems. It transmits credential data wirelessly to a compatible proximity card reader when presented within read range, without requiring physical contact or an internal power source. The card uses the widely adopted 26-bit Wiegand data format, making it compatible with a broad range of access control panels and readers. Installation and issuance are handled by security integrators, access control technicians, and facility security personnel. It is sold as a single card unit.

This card is suited for commercial and institutional access control deployments where clamshell-style card credentials are required. The clamshell form factor provides added durability compared to thin card stock, making it appropriate for high-use environments such as office buildings, healthcare facilities, multi-tenant residential properties, and industrial sites. Cards in this format are typically programmed or encoded by the installing technician or security administrator using compatible card enrollment hardware before being issued to end users.

Key Features

• 26-bit Wiegand data format for broad reader compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use with access control systems and proximity card readers that support the standard 26-bit Wiegand input format and AWID-encoded credentials.

Installation Notes

Card issuance should be performed by a qualified access control technician or security system integrator using compatible card enrollment or programming hardware. Verify that the access control panel and reader support the 26-bit Wiegand format and AWID encoding before deploying these credentials. Handle cards away from strong magnetic fields and high-static environments to avoid data corruption.
