The Paxton P50 is a compact, surface-mount proximity reader designed for secure access control applications using Net2 or Switch2 systems. With its streamlined design and reliable contactless operation, the P50 is well-suited for both internal doors and sheltered external entry points where space is limited.
Operating with Paxton keyfobs and proximity cards, the P50 delivers quick and efficient access with a consistent read range of up to 50mm (depending on token type). It features built-in LED indicators and an audible sounder to confirm access granted or denied—making it user-friendly for all environments.
This reader is easy to install, requires minimal wiring, and connects directly to a Paxton control unit. Its sealed design offers weather resistance when mounted using a suitable backbox, allowing flexible installation even in more demanding areas.
Whether you're retrofitting a single entry point or expanding an existing access control system, the P50 offers a clean, reliable solution with Paxton’s trusted performance.
