RF IDEAS RDR-7585AKU 13.56 MHz RFID USB Dongle

PCprox 13.56 MHz USB Dongle

The RF IDEAS RDR-7585AKU is a 13.56 MHz RFID reader in a USB dongle form factor. It reads MIFARE cards and tags, delivering data to applications without requiring software installation. The device operates as a plug-and-play keyboard wedge, sending card data directly to the active input field. It supports existing HID iClass and NXP MIFARE badge investments for access control or identity verification.

Suits integrators needing instant card-data entry

This reader suits system integrators and administrators who need to add contactless card reading to existing software without code changes or driver deployment. It is not for buyers who require a long-range reader, a device with Ethernet or RS232 connectivity built in, or support for proximity credentials outside the 13.56 MHz band. It also does not suit applications needing an onboard display or keypad for user interaction.

Read range 2.00–4.00 in with PVC cards

The single specification that decides fit is the typical maximum read range: 2.00" – 4.00" (5.0 – 10.0 cm) with standard PVC ID cards and 1.00" – 1.50" (2.5 – 3.8 cm) with key fobs. This short range demands close presentation, making it suitable for desktop authentication or point-of-sale check-in but unsuitable for hands-free gate access or vehicle identification.
