Paxton KP75 MIFARE Metal Keypad Reader (375-130) — Vandal-Resistant 2-Factor for Net2 / Switch2
The Paxton KP75 MIFARE (375-130) is the vandal-resistant metal-housed combined MIFARE 13.56 MHz proximity reader + PIN keypad for Paxton’s Net2 / Switch2 systems — heavy-duty metal housing engineered for outdoor / vandal-prone positions, IK10 + IP67, 3” form factor with 4” read range. Configurable card-only / PIN-only / card + PIN 2-factor authentication.
The KP75 MIFARE is the Chicago choice for outdoor sensitive-area 2-factor entries on Paxton Net2 / Switch2 with MIFARE credentials — schools (vandal-prone exteriors with 2-factor staff entries), parking decks, public buildings, multi-tenant residential exterior 2-factor doors, HOA gated entries with resident PIN access.
Three Concurrent Requirements — Why KP75 MIFARE Is Specific
The KP75 MIFARE is a specialized SKU combining three concurrent requirements:
- Vandal-resistant metal housing — IK10 + IP67, withstands kicks, bats, bricks, prolonged outdoor exposure
- MIFARE 13.56 MHz secure smart card reading — modern credentials beyond legacy 125 kHz Prox
- 2-factor PIN authentication — sensitive-area policy + outdoor positions
Other KP75 SKUs serve different combinations:
- 375-110 — KP75 standard 125 kHz (Paxton + EM tokens, no MIFARE)
- 375-130 — KP75 MIFARE 13.56 MHz (this page)
- 375-120 — KP75 with screw connector variant
We list the MIFARE version (375-130) since this is the photo we have. Other variants of the same physical reader are available on request — same form factor, same Chicago coverage, same applications. We specify the right variant at site walkthrough per credential policy.
