Farpointe Data Pyramid Series (26-bit Proximity) Compatible Cards & Fobs
Farpointe Data Pyramid Series is a 125 kHz OEM proximity credential line used widely in North American security integrator installations, available in 26-bit Wiegand and proprietary 39-bit formats, with strict dealer-channel distribution that creates high aftermarket demand.
Farpointe Data's Pyramid Series proximity credentials — including the PSC-1 clamshell, PSI-4 printable dye-sublimation card, PSM-2 ISO card, PSK-3 key fob, and PDT-1 disc tag — operate at 125 kHz and comply with Wiegand communication protocols, with readers available in short- and long-range configurations featuring MAXSecure™ anti-skimming technology. American Key Cards supplies Pyramid-compatible credentials in 26-bit Wiegand encoding pre-matched to your facility code, bypassing Farpointe's dealer-only ordering process for property managers and facility operators who need straightforward card reorders.

Our compatible Farpointe Data Pyramid Series (26-bit Proximity) credentials
American Key Cards manufactures non-OEM credentials engineered to work with your existing Farpointe Data readers — no hardware changes, encoded to your facility code and card-number range.
Can Farpointe Data Pyramid Series (26-bit Proximity) cards be copied?
Farpointe Data Pyramid Series (26-bit Proximity) is an open format, so a compatible card can be produced from your facility code and card number. We don't copy individual cards on request — we manufacture new, correctly-encoded credentials for systems you own or manage.
Farpointe Pyramid credentials operate at 125 kHz and carry no cryptographic protection regardless of bit format. The MAXSecure™ feature is a reader-side anti-skimming function and does not prevent card cloning with Proxmark3 or T5577 tools. Farpointe also offers DESFIRE EV2-based smart credentials for clone-resistant installations.

What bit formats do Farpointe Pyramid cards support?
Farpointe Pyramid credentials are available in 26-bit Wiegand (the most common, identical to H10301), a proprietary 39-bit Pyramid format, 37-bit H10304, and HID-compatible formats (ordered with the -H suffix). Most installations use 26-bit Wiegand for broad controller compatibility.
Can your Farpointe-compatible cards work on any Wiegand reader, not just Pyramid readers?
Yes — our Farpointe Pyramid-compatible cards encoded in 26-bit Wiegand (H10301) work on any Wiegand 26-bit access controller and reader, not just Farpointe P-series hardware. If your site also uses HID readers, order the -H (HID-compatible) encoding.
Why are Farpointe Pyramid replacement cards hard to find?
Farpointe Data sells credentials exclusively through its security integrator dealer network, requires a credential order form, and enforces minimum order quantities. American Key Cards provides a direct-purchase alternative with no dealer registration required.
