Keyfob ACTIS Mifare Classic 1K MIFC1-A8KACSC — proximity key fob, MIFARE Classic 1K

ACTIS Keyfob MIFC1-A8KACSC is a proximity key fob based on the MIFARE Classic 1K standard. It provides contactless identification and data storage in a compact, durable form factor suitable for carrying on key rings or lanyards. The device communicates with compatible RFID readers at the standard 13.56 MHz frequency and holds a 1 KB memory structure organized in sectors and blocks for access control, time attendance, and simple data applications.

Advantages

The keyfob combines a small, lightweight housing with reliable MIFARE Classic 1K technology, enabling rapid read/write operations and broad compatibility with existing access control systems. Its design allows convenient attachment to keys while reducing the risk of loss or damage compared with cards. The contactless operation minimizes physical wear and supports secure proximity identification when used with appropriate reader configurations.

Suitable for

• Employee access control and door entry systems
• Time and attendance tracking
• Locker and equipment access management
• Visitor identification and temporary credentials

How to use

Present the ACTIS keyfob to a compatible 13.56 MHz RFID reader until the system indicates a successful read. For systems that require personalization, program the keyfob using authorized access control software to write appropriate sector and block data, set keys and access permissions, and assign user identifiers. Store and handle the keyfob as with other contactless credentials, avoiding strong mechanical stress or prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.

Usage recommendations

Use the keyfob with access control readers and software that explicitly support MIFARE Classic 1K. Ensure secure key management and follow the access system vendor’s guidelines for sector key assignment and data encryption where supported. Replace the keyfob if the housing cracks or the device repeatedly fails to register with readers.
