125 kHz RFID USB Dongle

The RF IDEAS RDR-60D2AKU is a compact USB dongle that reads 125 kHz proximity cards. It targets mobile employees and organisations that already use HID Prox credentials for building access. The pcProx Nano form factor allows workers to authenticate at a laptop without carrying a separate reader. It suits environments where quick, portable badge reading is required.

Plug-and-play integration

The device connects through a standard USB port and needs no driver installation on supported operating systems. Embedded configurable flash memory stores reader settings so the dongle works immediately when moved between machines. Backward compatibility with existing 125 kHz badge systems means no card re-issuance is necessary. Developers can integrate the reader using the RF IDEAS Universal Software Developer's Kit.

Low-power portable operation

Power is drawn directly from the USB bus, eliminating the need for an external supply. The small dongle generates minimal heat during normal badge reads and operates silently with no moving parts. Its 125 kHz RF field activates only when a credential is presented, keeping average power draw low. This makes it suitable for continuous use on battery-powered laptops.
