Product Description

The HID GLOBAL CORPORATION 20KNKS-00-000040 is a Signo 20K smart card reader finished in black and silver with a pigtail cable connection. Designed for access control applications, this reader interfaces with compatible access control panels and credential management systems. The pigtail wiring configuration allows direct integration into existing low-voltage wiring runs. Installation is typically handled by licensed security or low-voltage electricians working within commercial or light industrial access control deployments. The Signo 20K form factor is suited for wall-mounted entry points where compact, professional aesthetics are required alongside reliable credential reading performance.

This reader is intended for use in access control installations where smart card credential technology is required. It fits standard single-gang or proprietary mounting configurations common in commercial facilities, office buildings, and secured entry environments. The pigtail lead simplifies field termination during new construction or retrofit projects. Installers working with access control head-end systems will find the reader compatible with typical Wiegand or OSDP wiring topologies as supported by the installed panel.
