How the compatible Tecom Swipe 15-bit works
The Tecom Swipe 15-bit is a 125 kHz low-frequency proximity credential — the band most legacy prox readers use. Its data structure is 15-bit: 6-bit FC + 6-bit CN, no parity. When you present a credential, the reader decodes that exact structure and passes it to your access-control panel as a card number it recognises.
We build the compatible Tecom Swipe 15-bit by encoding the matching data structure onto a programmable T5577 chip. Once written, the credential presents the same bits, the same facility code, and the same card number your reader already accepts. That is what "compatible by specification" means: not a generic look-alike, but a credential engineered for the exact format your system expects, matched to your facility code and card-number range.
To order, tell us the part number or format printed on your existing Tecom card, along with your facility code and card-number range, and our specialists confirm the encoding before anything ships. Bulk and reorder quantities are welcome — pricing is a fraction of OEM list, and every credential is verified to read on your existing equipment.
