Product identity

The HID Omnikey 5422 is a dual-interface smart card reader that supports both contact and contactless operation at 13.56 MHz over a USB 2.0 connection. It is built for organisations that need to read and write credentials from a single desktop device.

Who it suits and who should look elsewhere

This reader suits IT teams deploying logical access, identity verification or secure printing where both contact chip cards and contactless badges are in use. Buyers who only need contactless reading or who require a mobile form factor should consider other models.

Deciding specification

The single specification that determines fit is the dual-interface design combining a contact smart card slot with a 13.56 MHz contactless antenna on one USB 2.0 peripheral.

Questions about this item

Will the R54220301 work with my older USB 2.0 ports?

Yes, the reader uses USB 2.0 so it connects directly to any standard USB 2.0 or newer port without extra adapters.

How can I verify the 13.56MHz contactless interface is active after plugging it in?

The device LED will illuminate when powered; presenting a 13.56MHz credential should trigger a read beep or status flash confirming the contactless path is working.

Does the 5422 package include a contact smart-card slot or only the contactless antenna?

The dual-interface 5422 has both a landing contact slot for chip cards and a built-in 13.56MHz antenna; the box contains the reader and USB cable, no separate contact module is needed.
