White plastic rectangular RFID card reader with USB cable, 140 by 100 by 30 mm

ZKTECO

ZKTECO CR10E/CR10M RFID Card Reader USB 125KHz/13.56MHz office equipment

SKU CH-7S9W-AXW1R

USB RFID card reader supports 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz frequencies with a read distance up to 15 cm

Models: Select CR10E+ID

  • USB interface enables simple plug-and-play connection
  • Dual-frequency 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz reads both ID and IC cards
  • Read range up to 15 cm allows convenient contactless operation
  • Compact 140 x 100 x 30 mm design fits discreetly on any desk
  • Lightweight 130 g plastic housing meets RoHS environmental standards

Dual-frequency RFID reader

The ZKTECO CR10E/CR10M reads both 125 kHz EM ID cards and 13.56 MHz MF IC cards over a single USB connection. It is designed for office access-control systems that must support legacy proximity tokens and newer contactless smart cards without deploying separate readers.

Replaces single-frequency units

Organisations running mixed card populations can retire a 125 kHz-only reader and a 13.56 MHz-only reader in favour of this one device. The upgrade is worthwhile when door controllers need to recognise both credential types simultaneously and desk space or USB ports are limited.

Simple USB installation

The reader draws power from the host USB port and requires no external 12 V supply for typical desktop use. Mount the plastic housing with the supplied bracket, connect the cable, and the serial number of each presented card appears as keyboard input; the only common issue is placing the reader behind metal surfaces that reduce the 15 cm read distance.

Questions about this item

What are the physical dimensions of the CR10E/CR10M reader for mounting?

The reader measures 140 mm long, 100 mm wide and 30 mm deep, weighing 130 g. It is made of RoHS-compliant plastic and can be surface-mounted on a wall or door frame.

How do I connect the reader and what common step is missed?

Plug the USB cable into a host device; the unit draws DC 12 V at up to 60 mA from the USB port. The step often missed is ensuring the port can supply the full 60 mA, otherwise the reader may not power up.

Which card technologies will I need to replace or re-enrol over time?

The reader reads the serial number of 13.56 MHz IC cards and 125 kHz EM ID cards. Only the cards themselves wear out or get lost; the reader has no consumable parts and operates from 0 °C to 60 °C.
