Remee Wire & Cable announces an expanded line of Vigilance™ access control cables
FL, NY – Remee Wire & Cable, a leading manufacturer of electronic wire and cable, announced the expansion of its access control cables with the addition of a series of new OSDP cables. These access control cables are now available as part of Remee’s larger line of Vigilance™ security cables.
OSDP reader and OSDP cable
OSDP (Open Supervised Device Protocol) cables are used in access control systems to connect devices such as card readers, keypads and other access control peripherals to control panels or network devices. These cables are specifically designed to transfer data securely between devices, usually using a multi-wire configuration to transmit power, data, and control signals.
Only OSDP card reader cables provide secure channel encryption, smart card communications, and biometric reader support. A secure channel is the encryption and authentication system used by OSDP V2 compliant devices to protect communication between controllers and readers. A secure channel creates a secure session using various initialization messages, which performs mutual authentication and creates a set of keys used in the control panel for peripheral communications. If controllers and readers do not establish a secure session, the communication link is an attack vector
Also, OSDP controllers drive display readers to provide messages to clients and support various readers to provide enhanced capabilities such as reader status, real-time tamper reporting, and biometric template validation.
Two-conductor twisted pair cable with universal shielding is the minimum requirement for use with OSDP devices. Additional connectors are added to composite cabling constructions for use with other access control functions, such as door locks, and to carry data, power, and control signals.
OSDP vs ligand
OSDP cables are known for their reliability, security, and ability to support advanced features such as two-way communication, encryption, and tamper detection. They are often preferred over older technologies such as Wiegand due to their improved security features and support for more advanced access control systems. To accommodate older and newer access control systems, Remee offers cabling solutions for both OSDP and Wiegand.
If upgrading a Wiegand system to OSDP, it is possible to use existing wiring, however, using a simple twisted cable typical of Wiegand access control readers does not typically meet the TIA485/EIA-RS485 specification for twisted pair recommendations.1 If your building has both Both styles of access control systems, Remee offers a specific cable design (PN 725930) that allows you to slowly transition from Wiegand to OSDP with the pull of a single cable.
OSDP cable applications
In general, OSDP systems find application in various industries and environments where secure access control and communications are essential to maintain safety and security. Some typical applications of OSDP systems include:
Access Control Systems Biometric Access Control Visitor Management and Tracking Systems Tracking Employee Time and Attendance Government and High Security Facilities Healthcare Facilities Financial Institutions Commercial Offices, Complexes and Campuses Educational Facilities Transportation Centers
