HID 5455BGN00 ProxPro II Proximity Reader, Wiegand output, Charcoal Gray, 18 In. Pigtail No Keypad

The ProxPro II 5455BGN00 is a Wiegand output reader, so it wires to any panel that takes a standard Wiegand credential input. Power is 5 to 16 VDC, which is why it drops onto most panel reader ports running 12V without a separate supply. It ships with an 18 inch pigtail rather than a terminal block, so you splice to your reader run inside the box or behind the reader.

It is a 125 kHz proximity reader, so it reads 125 kHz prox credentials, the standard HID Prox card and fob format. It will not read 13.56 MHz smart cards. If your building is already on 125 kHz prox badges, the ProxPro II reads what you have; if you are on iCLASS or MIFARE, this is the wrong reader.

Read range is up to 8 inches (20.5 cm). That is a present-the-badge distance, fine for a door, a turnstile, or a mullion-adjacent wall plate. It is not a long-range vehicle reader, so a driver would still have to reach out the window at a gate.

The housing measures 5.0 x 5.0 x 1.0 inches (12.7 cm x 12.7 cm x 2.54 cm). That is a wall-plate footprint, not a door mullion reader, so plan on the wall or frame face beside the opening rather than a narrow aluminum stile. An optional glass mount kit is available if you need it mounted behind glass at a storefront entry.

No keypad on the 5455BGN00. It is card-read only. If your site needs card-plus-PIN for after-hours or for a high-security room, this part will not give you the second factor and you need a keypad model instead.

The SDC IPRW Series Wiegand proximity reader is the closest peer. Like the ProxPro II, it reads 125 kHz proximity credentials and sends Wiegand output to the panel, and SDC states 125 kHz HID compatibility, so existing HID prox cards already issued to a building can keep working. The ProxPro II 5455BGN00 is the charcoal gray, no-keypad version with an 18 inch pigtail, running on 5-16 VDC in a 5.0 x 5.0 x 1.0 inch housing with a read range up to 8.0 inches.

Yes. The SDC IPRW Series is described as a Wiegand proximity reader with 125 kHz HID compatibility, and the ProxPro II is a 125 kHz proximity card reader, so both read the same credential frequency and both hand the panel a Wiegand output. For a property manager or MRO buyer standardizing a fleet of openings, that means the cards already in circulation do not have to be reissued when a reader is changed out.

Charcoal gray, and it falls under the ProxPro II base part numbers 5455 and 5458. If the readers already on your other doors are charcoal gray ProxPro II units, this matches the family visually and electrically. Property managers standardizing a portfolio should note the finish, the 18 inch pigtail, and the no-keypad configuration together, since those three things are what vary within the family.

The SDC IPRW Series is a Wiegand proximity reader with 125 kHz HID compatibility, so it reads the same prox credentials and delivers the same Wiegand output to your panel. The practical difference is the housing: the ProxPro II is a 5 x 5 inch wall plate with an 8 inch read range and an optional behind-glass mount kit. Pick on form factor and read distance, since both speak the same credential and the same panel protocol.

Yes, with the optional glass mount kit, which lets the reader be mounted behind glass. That is the usual answer for a glass front entry where you cannot drill the lite or run conduit up an aluminum stile. The kit is a separate order, it does not come with the reader.

Not usually. It draws 5 to 16 VDC, which most access control panels supply directly on the reader port, so one cable run handles power and the Wiegand data. If your run is long or your panel port is loaded with several readers, size the gauge for the voltage drop so the reader still sees at least 5 VDC at the head.

No. The 5455BGN00 is the no-keypad ProxPro II, so it authenticates on the card alone. The ProxPro II family covers base part numbers 5455 and 5458, and for card-plus-PIN at the door you want the keypad configuration rather than the 5455BGN00. The SDC IPRW Series is likewise a proximity reader, so it is not the answer for a two-factor opening either.

The ProxPro II accepts an optional glass mount kit made for mounting the reader behind glass, which is the configuration a glass front installer needs when there is no mullion or frame to screw into. Its 5.0 x 5.0 x 1.0 inch footprint and 8.0 inch read range are what determine how far through the glazing the credential still presents. The SDC IPRW Series is a Wiegand proximity reader as well, but the behind-glass mounting kit is the ProxPro II feature to specify.

Both are Wiegand output readers, so both terminate to a Wiegand reader port on the access control panel rather than to a serial or IP head end. The difference an installer plans around is the connection at the reader end: the ProxPro II 5455BGN00 ships with an 18 inch pigtail, and it runs on 5-16 VDC, so the panel or power supply feeding it has to sit inside that range.

It is a commercial access control reader, the kind that goes on an office, school, healthcare or multi-family entry tied to a head-end panel. It is not a standalone residential lock or keypad, it does no decision-making on its own, and it needs a controller to grant access.

Not on a dimensional basis. The ProxPro II is a 5.0 x 5.0 x 1.0 inch square housing with a read range up to 8.0 inches - it is sized for a wall or a glass mount, not for a narrow aluminum mullion, and swapping to a slim reader gives up read range. If the opening has a mullion, size the reader to the mullion first and confirm the credential frequency second; the ProxPro II reads 125 kHz proximity, as does the SDC IPRW Series.
