USB RFID card reader for access control

The ZKTeco CR10E CR10M is a USB proximity card reader operating at 13.56 MHz and 125 kHz. It reads the serial number of IC and ID cards for door access control systems. The device connects directly to a host computer via USB and is intended for indoor office environments.

Check host USB port and mounting space before

Verify that the host system has an available USB port to power and communicate with the reader. Ensure the installation surface can accommodate the unit dimensions of 140 x 100 x 30 mm. The reader requires a DC 12 V supply drawing up to 60 mA, typically provided through the USB connection, and operates between 0 and 60 °C.

Plastic RoHS-compliant housing and short read range

The reader is housed in plastic compliant with RoHS directives and weighs 130 g. Its read distance spans 0 to 15 cm, meaning cards must be presented close to the surface. No additional software or mounting accessories are described in the specifications, so integration relies on the host application.

Questions about this item

Does the CR10E or CR10M reader ship with a USB cable, or must I buy one separately?

The unit connects by USB and draws DC 12V/Max 60mA; the cable is included so no separate purchase is needed.

Should I choose the CR10E for 13.56MHz IC cards or the CR10M for 125KHz ID cards?

CR10E reads 13.56MHz IC cards, CR10M reads 125KHz EM ID cards — pick the model that matches your card frequency.

What does the 15 cm read distance mean when the reader is mounted on a door frame?

It allows a card to be presented up to 15 cm from the reader surface, so users can badge through without touching the device.
