Buying guide

Choosing 125 kHz LF RFID cards

LF proximity cards run at 125 kHz and are read by holding them close to the reader. They are still the card inside many attendance terminals, door readers and canteen or parking systems in Indian offices, factories and housing societies. Most buyers order them for one reason: more cards that work with readers already on the wall.

Cards in this range

Plain LF cards

125 kHz LF RFID cards are passive white PVC cards in the standard rectangular smart-card shape. Use them for bulk issue, temporary and visitor passes, or cards you print in-house on a card printer.

Printed RFID ID cards

Printed RFID ID cards are CR80 (86 × 54 mm), 0.76 mm thick, personalised with your design in a gloss or matte finish. They are made with a 125 kHz or 13.56 MHz chip, so one card can be both the photo ID and the access card.

Match the card to your reader first

“125 kHz” alone does not guarantee a card will work. LF systems use different chip formats. EM4100-type read-only cards are the most common in Indian attendance and access machines, but some systems use HID Prox or other proprietary formats that EM-type cards will not open. Rewritable T5577 cards can be programmed to copy several formats.

  • Check the terminal. Note the brand and model of your attendance or door reader, or the details printed on an existing card, and mention them when you request a quote.
  • Check the frequency. A 125 kHz card will not read on a 13.56 MHz MIFARE or NFC reader, and an HF card will not read on an LF reader.
  • Decide on printing. Plain white cards suit in-house printing and short-term passes. Printed ID cards suit permanent staff, student and member cards.

Before printing a full batch, confirm that a sample card opens your reader. Our guide on matching your eSSL, ZKTeco or door reader before printing covers the checks.

Moving from LF to HF

125 kHz proximity cards normally carry only a fixed ID number with no encryption, so they are easy to copy. New installations increasingly use 13.56 MHz HF and MIFARE cards. During a changeover, an LF + HF dual frequency card carries both chips, so one badge works on old LF readers and new HF readers.

What to order alongside

To enrol cards into PC software, the IDTS-LFPPR LF USB desktop reader reads 125 kHz card numbers with no driver installation. If staff prefer a keyring to a card, see 125 kHz LF tags and key fobs.

Frequently asked questions

Will these cards work with my eSSL or ZKTeco attendance machine?
Machines sold as “ID card” models usually read 125 kHz EM-type cards, while “IC card” models read 13.56 MHz MIFARE cards. Check the card type of your terminal model before ordering, and mention the model when you request a quote.
Can a 13.56 MHz reader read 125 kHz LF cards?
No. LF and HF use different frequencies and protocols. A 125 kHz card needs a 125 kHz reader. If you run both kinds of reader, consider an LF + HF dual frequency card.
Can LF cards be printed with our logo and staff details?
Yes. The plain LF cards are white PVC and can be printed on a card printer. Printed RFID ID cards are supplied personalised in CR80 size with a gloss or matte finish.
What size are these cards?
Both are the standard rectangular smart-card size. The printed RFID ID card is listed as CR80, 86 × 54 mm and 0.76 mm (760 micron) thick, the same as a bank card.
Are 125 kHz cards secure?
125 kHz proximity cards usually transmit a fixed ID with no encryption, so they can be copied. They are fine for attendance and general access. For higher-security doors, use 13.56 MHz cards that support encrypted memory.
