The Vanderbilt V24246-D5203-A1 IB928 Active Encoded Clamshell Cards are designed for facilities that need reliable hands-free access control — the kind of environment where staff shouldn't have to stop, reach into a pocket, or fumble for a credential. The built-in lithium battery powers active transmission, giving the card its extended read range without any additional infrastructure changes.

When paired with the Cotag HF500 reader, the read range extends to approximately 102 cm — genuinely hands-free for busy doorways, vehicle access points, or anywhere throughput matters. Combined with Cotag proximity readers, that range narrows to 12–32 cm for applications where tighter control is preferred. Each card carries its number printed on the reverse for straightforward administration. Supplied in packs of 10.

These cards are a direct fit for existing Cotag-based access systems, making them the practical choice for replenishment or expanding a current installation without compatibility concerns.
