Badge rfid

Choose RFID badge type by frequency, form factor, and reader compatibility. On this page you’ll find 125KHz proximity tags (EM4100) in packs of 10 and 13.56MHz proximity options such as MIFARE-style key fobs that are not copyable. For straightforward access control in restricted areas, 125KHz tags are robust and cost‑effective, while the 13.56MHz options offer higher security when paired with suitable readers. A blue round 13.56MHz key-fob demonstrates the MIFARE‑style option designed for outdoor use with IP67 protection.

The most complex attribute is the combination of frequency, tag protocol, and reader compatibility. 125KHz EM4100 tags are older proximity IDs with shorter read ranges, while 13.56MHz tags use newer protocols such as MIFARE and require compatible readers. The read/write performance also varies by reader; for example, some badges report quick reads (milliseconds) and others depend on reader device capabilities, with ranges typically around 0 to 100 mm depending on the setup.

Choose based on wearability and access workflow. Badges in card form are convenient for desk access and desk-mounted readers, while key tags and key fobs are ideal for lanyards or key rings that you carry or attach to bags. For packs like 10 pieces of EM4100 125KHz proximity tags, bulk provisioning suits campuses or offices needing many users. For higher security or outdoor use, 13.56MHz key fobs provide a compact, durable option.

Check that your readers support the frequencies you choose (125KHz or 13.56MHz) and verify environmental tolerance. Some badges on this page operate from 10°C to 55°C, while others tolerate -10°C to 55°C, and certain items are IP67 rated for outdoor durability. Also confirm the form factor matches your deployment (cards, tags, or key fobs) and that the read/write performance aligns with your security requirements and reader placement.

RFID badges here are well suited for access control, attendance tracking, and membership management. For example, 125KHz EM4100 tags can serve simple door access, while 13.56MHz MIFARE-style fobs are useful where you need stronger security and compatibility with modern readers. The inclusion of multi-pack options supports large teams, events, or organizations, enabling quick mass provisioning and easy issuance of credentials.

Durability varies by type and material. 125KHz proximity tags often come in robust forms, with key tags and cards commonly built for everyday handling, while 13.56MHz options described as round blue fobs use epoxy or equivalent coatings and offer durable outdoor use. Keychains often incorporate PVC or ABS, and some tags specify IP67 ratings for water and dust resistance, ensuring reliable performance in different environments.
