HID 6008B1B00 ProxPoint Plus Reader, Clock and Data output, Designer Black, 18 In. Pigtail

Yes. The ProxPoint Plus mounts directly on metal with no change in read range performance, so a hollow metal frame, an aluminum mullion or a metal door face is fine. No spacer or isolation plate is required.

The ProxPoint Plus 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 its narrow dimension it suits narrow mullions and door stiles where a full-size wall reader will not sit flat.

It is a 125 kHz proximity reader, so it works with 125 kHz prox cards and fobs. It will not read 13.56 MHz smart credentials.

The HID 6008B1B00 ProxPoint Plus is the clock and data output version, which suits panels expecting a magstripe-style clock/data stream. If your controller input is Wiegand, look at the SDC IPRW Series proximity reader, which is a Wiegand output reader with 125 kHz HID compatibility, so it reads the same 125 kHz credentials your cardholders already carry. Confirm the output format on your panel's reader port before ordering either one - the two are not interchangeable on the same wiring.

Read range is up to 3.0 inches (7.5 cm). It is a present-the-card reader, not a long-range or hands-free unit, so plan it for door-side badge presentation rather than gate or vehicle use.

The reader has a beeper and a multicolor LED, and both can be host controlled, locally controlled, or a mix of the two. That lets an access panel drive the LED for granted/denied indication instead of relying only on the reader's own local behavior.

This one ships with an 18 inch pigtail, so you splice to your reader cable inside the frame or a back box behind the reader. Budget for a junction point within about a foot and a half of the mounting location.

Both operate at 125 kHz. The ProxPoint Plus 6005/6008 base part numbers are 125 kHz proximity card readers, and the SDC IPRW Series is listed with 125 kHz HID compatibility, so it is built to read HID-format 125 kHz credentials. The difference to plan around is the interface: the 6008B1B00 sends clock and data, while the IPRW is a Wiegand reader.

The HID 6008B1B00 ProxPoint Plus is specified to mount directly on metal with no change in read range performance, which is why it is a common choice for aluminum mullions and hollow metal frames. Its small footprint is 3.14 in. x 1.70 in. x 0.66 in. with a read range up to 3.0 in., and it ships with an 18 in. pigtail. The SDC IPRW Series is the alternative when the panel requires Wiegand output rather than clock and data.

Designer Black, and it is a commercial-grade access control reader. The black housing is the common choice for dark anodized aluminum storefront and bronze or black painted hollow metal frames.
