Description
OEM SD5-C EM Card
The OEM SD5-C Printable Card functions as a passive RFID credential for low-frequency security environments. Each unit contains a factory-programmed chip operating at 125kHz. Internal antennas capture energy from the reader’s electromagnetic field to transmit identification numbers. This hardware utilizes the standard EM protocol for interoperability with Wiegand-compatible readers. The physical construction follows the ISO 7810 ID-1 form factor. A high-quality PVC coating covers both sides of the card. This finish supports direct-to-card printing using thermal transfer or dye-sublimation technologies. Procurement managers select this model for employee identification badges requiring electronic access.
The thin profile measures approximately 0.8mm. This allows the credential to pass through standard rollers in desktop card printers without jamming. Unlike thicker clamshell cards, these units fit into standard wallets. The white surface provides a neutral base for high-resolution graphics and employee portraits. Data security relies on the fixed 64-bit serial number embedded during manufacturing. These cards are read-only, which prevents unauthorized data modification after deployment. The inductive coupling mechanism provides a typical read range of up to 10 centimeters.

Why Choose OEM SD5-C EM Card
High-density surface compatibility allows for sharp text and photo reproduction on thermal printers.
Standardized ISO thickness prevents mechanical failure during automated credential issuance cycles.
Fixed 64-bit serial numbers provide unique identification for every user in the access database.
Passive inductive technology eliminates maintenance requirements since no internal batteries are necessary.
The chip architecture employs Manchester encoding for data transmission. This ensures reliable signal decoding even in environments with minor electromagnetic interference. However, users must avoid the internal antenna path if punching holes to maintain card functionality.
























Maina Kamau (verified owner) –
These SD5-C cards are perfect for our staff IDs. The surface is smooth and takes the ink very well from our card printer. No jams so far, and the 125kHz frequency is spot on with our existing readers.
Zipporah Atieno (verified owner) –
Good quality for the price. We ordered 100 pieces for the new office wing and they all programmed without any issues on our EM system. Delivery to our CBD office was also quite fast.
Kevin Omolo (verified owner) –
Safi sana. Cards are durable and the signal is strong even through a thick wallet. No need to keep removing the card every time you get to the gate.
Mercy Wanjiku (verified owner) –
Standard EM cards. They do the job but I wish the surface was slightly glossier. Still, for this budget price, you can’t complain much. They work fine with our door access control.
Brian Mutua (verified owner) –
I’ve tried other brands before but these OEM ones seem more robust. They don’t snap easily in the pockets of the site workers, which has been a big problem for us previously.
Fatuma Hassan (verified owner) –
Very reliable proximity cards. We used them for a gym membership project in Kilimani and the clients are happy. High read range for an EM card and they look professional once printed.
