HID Prox H10301 (Standard 26-Bit) Compatible Cards & Fobs
The HID H10301 26-bit format is the most widely deployed proximity card format in North America, used on millions of doors across commercial and residential buildings.
H10301 encodes an 8-bit facility code and 16-bit card number in a 26-bit Wiegand frame compatible with virtually every proximity reader ever manufactured. American Key Cards supplies H10301-programmed replacement cards and fobs at a fraction of OEM pricing, with your exact facility code and sequential card numbers encoded to order.

Our compatible HID Prox H10301 (Standard 26-Bit) credentials
American Key Cards manufactures non-OEM credentials engineered to work with your existing HID readers — no hardware changes, encoded to your facility code and card-number range.
Can HID Prox H10301 (Standard 26-Bit) cards be copied?
HID Prox H10301 (Standard 26-Bit) is an open format, so a compatible card can be produced from your facility code and card number. We don't copy individual cards on request — we manufacture new, correctly-encoded credentials for systems you own or manage.
The most widely deployed proximity format in North America. Because the facility code is only 8 bits (0–255) and card numbers are 16 bits (0–65,535), the credential space is small and easily enumerable. Any standard 125 kHz duplicator can clone these cards in seconds. Not suitable for high-security environments.
Where HID Prox H10301 (Standard 26-Bit) is used

What is the HID H10301 format?
H10301 is HID's standard 26-bit Wiegand proximity format. Each card encodes an 8-bit facility code (values 0–255) and a 16-bit card number (values 0–65,535), flanked by two parity bits, for a total of 26 bits transmitted to the access controller.
Will your H10301 cards work with my existing HID readers?
Yes. Our H10301-format cards are fully compatible with all HID proximity readers and virtually every other brand of 125 kHz Wiegand reader on the market. We program your exact facility code and card number range during fulfillment.
Can H10301 proximity cards be cloned?
Yes — standard 26-bit HID proximity cards can be duplicated with widely available handheld cloners. This is a known limitation of the 125 kHz proximity technology. If cloning resistance is required, consider upgrading to HID iCLASS SE or SEOS smart card technology.
