HID 6005BGB06 ProxPoint Plus Reader, Wiegand output, Charcoal Gray, 18 In. Pigtail

Yes. The ProxPoint Plus mounts directly on metal with no change in read range performance, so a hollow metal frame or a metal mullion is a valid mounting surface. Read range is up to 3.0 inches. That is the practical spec on a metal install: the credential has to come close to the reader face, so mount it where a hand naturally lands, not behind trim.

Reader body measures 3.14 x 1.70 x 0.66 inches (7.96 cm x 4.3 cm x 1.68 cm). At 1.70 inches across the short dimension it fits on narrow aluminum stiles and on standard single gang plates, and the 0.66 inch depth keeps it from projecting far enough to interfere with a door swing or a closer arm. That small footprint is the reason this model gets specified on storefront and glass front openings where a full size mullion reader will not sit flat.

125 kHz proximity. The ProxPoint Plus reads 125 kHz prox credentials, so it works with an existing 125 kHz prox card and fob population. If a building has moved to 13.56 MHz smart credentials, this is not the reader for that opening.

The SDC IPRW Series is a Wiegand proximity reader built for 125 kHz HID compatibility, so it reads the same credential population the ProxPoint Plus 6005BGB06 does and returns Wiegand data to the panel the same way. The 6005BGB06 is the small-format ProxPoint Plus with a beeper and multicolor LED that can be host or locally controlled, a body measuring 3.14 x 1.70 x 0.66 inches, a read range up to 3.0 inches, and a 5 to 16 VDC supply. If the opening needs a reader on the same 125 kHz cards and the same Wiegand wiring back to the controller, the IPRW Series covers that ground.

Yes. The SDC IPRW Series is specified for 125 kHz HID compatibility, and the ProxPoint Plus 6005BGB06 is a 125 kHz proximity reader, so both operate on the same card frequency and both output Wiegand to the access control panel. For a facility standardizing on one credential across many doors, that means a mixed population of ProxPoint Plus and IPRW readers can run on one card stock rather than issuing a second credential.

The ProxPoint Plus 6005BGB06 is the one specified for that condition: it can mount directly on metal with no change in read range performance, and its 3.14 x 1.70 x 0.66 inch footprint suits a narrow mullion. The SDC IPRW Series is a comparable 125 kHz HID-compatible Wiegand reader, but the on-metal mounting behavior is a published characteristic of the ProxPoint Plus. On an aluminum storefront or hollow metal frame, that is the deciding detail.

The reader has a beeper and a multicolor LED, and both can be host controlled, locally controlled, or both. Host control is what lets the panel signal a specific condition at the door, granted versus denied, rather than just a generic read confirmation. For a property manager standardizing on one look across a fleet of doors, this is the same audible and visual feedback at every reader.

Both are ProxPoint Plus base part numbers in the same family, 6005 and 6008. The 6005BGB06 is the charcoal gray Wiegand version with an 18 inch pigtail. Order by the full part number rather than the base number, because the trailing digits carry the output type, color, and cable configuration.

The SDC IPRW Series is a Wiegand proximity reader with 125 kHz HID compatibility, so it reads the same 125 kHz prox credential population and lands on the same Wiegand panel input. Choose on form factor and on whichever brand the rest of the site is already standardized to; both are commercial readers, and mixing brands on one panel is fine as long as the Wiegand format matches.

No. The 6005BGB06 is a card reader head: it presents a 125 kHz proximity card to the panel as Wiegand data, with a beeper and multicolor LED for feedback, and it needs 5 to 16 VDC and a controller behind it. Keypads take a PIN rather than a card, and credentials are the cards and fobs the reader looks for, so neither one substitutes for the reader at the door. The genuine reader-for-reader alternative is a unit like the SDC IPRW Series, which is also a Wiegand proximity reader with 125 kHz HID compatibility.

Both are Wiegand proximity readers working at 125 kHz, the IPRW Series specified for HID compatibility and the 6005BGB06 being an HID ProxPoint Plus on base part numbers 6005 and 6008. The 6005BGB06 is the charcoal gray version with an 18 inch pigtail, a 3.14 x 1.70 x 0.66 inch body, up to 3.0 inch read range, 5 to 16 VDC input, and a beeper plus multicolor LED that the host or the reader itself can drive. The IPRW is identified by series rather than by a single finish and lead configuration, so specify the IPRW variant that matches the color and lead you need at the opening.

Commercial grade, finished in charcoal gray. Charcoal gray is the neutral that disappears against dark aluminum storefront and anodized frames, which is why it is the common spec on glass front entries.
