RBH Integra32 Compatible Proximity Cards: What Works

RBH Integra32 access control systems support standard 26-bit Wiegand proximity cards alongside their native 50-bit credential format, thanks to the multi-format capability of the RBH IRC-2000 Intelligent Reader Controller. American Key Cards supplies compatible standard 26-bit clamshell cards and key fobs for RBH Integra32 and Axiom installations where the controller is configured to accept multiple Wiegand formats — no dealer account required, programmed to your facility code.

What Is RBH Access Technologies and the Integra32 Platform?

RBH Access Technologies is a Canadian access control manufacturer with a strong install base across commercial buildings in Canada and the northern United States. Their flagship security management platform — Integra32 — powers everything from small office buildings to large multi-tenant commercial facilities, hospitals, and campuses. The Axiom and ATOM controller families are related products built on the same credential and reader infrastructure.

Integra32 is a full-featured enterprise access control system. It supports video integration, visitor management, time and attendance, and elevator control. For this guide, the relevant component is the credential layer — the cards and fobs that tenants, employees, and visitors use at reader-equipped doors.

The Two Credential Tiers in RBH Systems

RBH Integra32 installations typically use one of two credential types, sometimes both at once.

Native RBH 50-Bit Format

The native credential for Integra32, Axiom, and ATOM systems is the RBH 50-bit Wiegand format — a proprietary AWID-based proximity format operating at 125 kHz. The OEM part numbers for this credential line include:

• RBH-AW-PROXLINC-CS — clamshell proximity card, 50-bit
• RBH-F-TR-2+A — two-button key fob / remote, 50-bit
• RBH-M45G — mullion reader (used with 50-bit credentials)

These 50-bit credentials must be programmed and ordered through authorized RBH distribution channels. The 50-bit format stores more unique card numbers than standard 26-bit and is RBH’s preferred native format for new installations.

Standard 26-Bit Wiegand (Multi-Format Mode)

Here is the practical detail that most replacement card buyers miss: the RBH IRC-2000 Intelligent Reader Controller can simultaneously read up to five distinct Wiegand or Clock & Data card formats. In most Integra32 deployments, the controller is configured to accept the native 50-bit RBH format and standard 26-bit H10301 proximity cards at the same time.

This means standard 26-bit clamshell cards and key fobs — the kind American Key Cards produces — work at RBH Integra32 readers without any system reconfiguration, provided the controller is already in multi-format mode (which is common) and the card’s facility code and card number are enrolled in the software.

Format Comparison: RBH 50-Bit vs. Standard 26-Bit

Property	RBH 50-Bit (Native)	Standard 26-Bit H10301
Frequency	125 kHz	125 kHz
Air interface	AWID proprietary (50-bit)	HID-compatible proximity
Bit structure	50-bit Wiegand	26-bit Wiegand
Facility code range	Extended (proprietary)	0–255
Card number range	Large (proprietary)	0–65,535
OEM source	RBH authorized distributors	American Key Cards direct
Works in IRC-2000 multi-format mode	Yes (native)	Yes (multi-format)
Cloneable	Yes	Yes
AKC supplies	No (OEM channel required)	Yes

The 34-bit output mode referenced in some Integra32 documentation is an alternative Wiegand output configuration for third-party panel integration — this is a reader output setting, not a separate card format.

Which Readers Are Used in Integra32 Systems?

RBH fields a range of reader hardware across Integra32 installations. The readers you are most likely to encounter:

• RBH IRC-2000 — the Intelligent Reader Controller, the core unit that handles multi-format Wiegand reading; this is not a standalone reader but a controller board paired with a reader head
• RBH M45G Mullion Reader — a slim-profile proximity reader used at interior doors, supporting 50-bit and OSDP modes
• RBH blueLINE Readers — next-generation readers supporting MIFARE DESFire EV1/EV2 and OSDP for higher-security installations
• Any standard Wiegand 26-bit reader integrated with RBH Integra32 panels — Integra32 panels accept third-party Wiegand readers, so installations may include HID, Farpointe, or other reader brands

If your building uses RBH Integra32 software but the physical readers are from a different manufacturer — which is common — the same compatibility logic applies: confirm the Wiegand format the controller is configured for, then order cards to that specification.

What AKC Supplies for RBH Integra32 Systems

American Key Cards supplies compatible standard 26-bit H10301 proximity cards and key fobs for RBH Integra32 installations where the IRC-2000 controller is configured for multi-format Wiegand reading. These are:

• ISO-format clamshell cards (standard proximity card, the most common form factor)
• Key fobs for keyring carry

Each card and fob is programmed to your exact facility code and card number range before shipping. We do not supply RBH’s native 50-bit AWID-format credentials — those require RBH’s proprietary programming and must be ordered through authorized RBH distributors.

We are compatible by specification, not affiliated with RBH Access Technologies.

For the broader family of standard 26-bit H10301 prox cards — which is the format AKC supplies for multi-format RBH installations — see the HID ProxCard H10301 format guide.

A Note on RBH blueLINE Readers and DESFire Credentials

Newer RBH installations use blueLINE readers, which support MIFARE DESFire EV1/EV2 credentials at 13.56 MHz over OSDP. These smart card credentials are encrypted with site-specific AES keys and cannot be cloned, duplicated, or sourced from aftermarket suppliers. If your Integra32 installation uses blueLINE readers with DESFire cards, replacement credentials must come through the RBH distribution channel.

This is the same security architecture used in high-security access platforms such as HID iCLASS SE. The cryptographic protection is real — there is no workaround, and no third-party supplier can produce a functional DESFire EV1/EV2 card matched to your installation’s site key.

AKC serves RBH customers using the 125 kHz proximity side of their Integra32 system. If you are unsure whether your system uses 125 kHz prox credentials or DESFire smart cards, check the reader label for a frequency indicator, or confirm with your system installer.

How to Confirm Your RBH System Is in Multi-Format Mode

Before ordering standard 26-bit cards for an RBH Integra32 installation, take one of these steps to confirm multi-format reading is active:

1. Check your Integra32 software. The system’s credential configuration screen will show which Wiegand formats are enabled for each reader or reader zone.
2. Ask your installer or dealer. The integrator who commissioned the system will know whether the IRC-2000 was configured to read additional formats.
3. Test with an existing standard prox card. If you have a standard 26-bit card from another system, present it to the reader — if the controller is in multi-format mode and the card is enrolled, it will read.

If multi-format mode is not currently active, your RBH integrator can enable it without hardware changes. This is a software configuration in Integra32, not a physical modification.

Why Aftermarket Cards Cost Less Than OEM

RBH’s native 50-bit credentials require factory programming matched to the specific system configuration and must travel through the authorized distribution chain. That supply constraint adds cost and lead time at every step.

Standard 26-bit compatible cards, by contrast, are produced to an open Wiegand specification with facility code and card number programmed to your requirement. American Key Cards produces them in small and large quantities, ships directly to property managers and facility operators, and does not require an installer relationship or dealer account. The card your tenants use is functionally identical from the reader’s perspective — the reader does not distinguish between a card programmed by AKC and one from any other 26-bit supplier.

What to Have Ready When Ordering

To order compatible 26-bit cards for your RBH Integra32 system, you will need:

• Confirmation that your IRC-2000 controller is configured for 26-bit H10301 multi-format reading
• Your facility code (0–255 for standard 26-bit)
• The card number range you need (0–65,535)
• The quantity required — clamshell cards, key fobs, or both
• Any sequential labeling or print requirements for the card face

AKC programs cards in any quantity. Small replacement batches for a few lost cards and bulk orders for a full-building refresh are both accommodated.
