HID 5368EGP00 MiniProx proximity reader, Clock and Data output, Charcoal Gray, 18 In. Pigtail

That's exactly what it's built for. The MiniProx is a mullion mount proximity reader measuring 6.0 x 1.7 x 1.0 inches (15.2 cm x 4.3 cm x 1.91 cm), so it fits on the narrow face of an aluminum storefront or glass door mullion where a full-size wall reader won't go.

The 5368EGP00 is the Clock and Data output version, not Wiegand. Clock and Data (often called mag-stripe emulation) is what older or mag-stripe based access panels expect. If your controller inputs are Wiegand, this part number is the wrong one, and a Wiegand-output reader such as the SDC IPRW Series proximity reader with 125 kHz HID compatibility is the option to look at instead.

Power it from 5 to 16 VDC. That range covers the 12 VDC supply most access control panels put out on their reader terminals, so in most installs the reader runs straight off the panel with no separate supply.

The HID 5368EGP00 MiniProx is built with a Clock and Data output, which suits panels expecting that protocol. If your controller input is Wiegand, look at the SDC IPRW Series proximity reader, which is a Wiegand-output prox reader with 125 kHz HID compatibility. Both read at 125 kHz, so existing 125 kHz prox credentials stay in play; the difference is the data format the reader sends back to the panel, and that has to match the panel input.

Not a straight swap on the wiring side. The SDC IPRW Series is a Wiegand-output reader, while the HID 5368EGP00 MiniProx sends Clock and Data. The IPRW is rated for 125 kHz HID compatibility, so cardholders can keep the same credentials, but the head-end connection and panel port have to be set up for Wiegand rather than Clock and Data. Confirm which format your controller reads before ordering either one.

Up to 5.5 inches (14.0 cm) at 125 kHz. That is a present-the-card range, not a hands-free one, so mount it where a person naturally reaches as they approach the door rather than trying to cover an approach path.

It ships with an 18 inch pigtail already attached, so you splice to your home run inside the mullion or a nearby box. No terminal strip to land wires on at the reader itself.

Yes, it's a commercial-duty 125 kHz proximity credential reader, part of the MiniProx family under base part numbers 5365 and 5368. It reads the card and passes the credential data to your access control panel; it does not lock or unlock anything on its own, so you still need a controller and an electric lock or strike to complete the opening.

They are the two base part numbers in the MiniProx line, and the 5368 is the one configured for Clock and Data output. Both are 125 kHz mullion mount proximity readers on the same 6.0 x 1.7 x 1.0 inch body with the same 5-16 VDC power range.

No. The HID 5368EGP00 MiniProx is a 125 kHz proximity reader, and the SDC IPRW Series is listed with 125 kHz HID compatibility, so both will read the same 125 kHz HID credential population. The practical decision is per opening: the MiniProx is a mullion-mount reader with a 6.0 x 1.7 x 1.0 inch footprint, 5-16 VDC power and Clock and Data output, so it fits narrow frame stiles on panels that accept that format, while the IPRW covers openings where the panel port is Wiegand.

Charcoal Gray is the finish on this part number. It's the standard MiniProx color and the one that blends with dark anodized and bronze storefront framing.
