Components of Access Control Systems
Typically access control systems have the following four main components that are all
connected together with a special type of low voltage cable designed for access control systems.
Access Control Systems
- A security door
- An electronic contact and lock
- A Type of access panel
- A request to exit and lock the device
The security door is a door that can be made from metal, glass or wood and utilizies an electronic lock and contact. Metal is the ideal choice of security door to use, due to their value for money, fire ratings and the fact that you can run cables through the actual door. Glass doors are the most pleasing types of security doors to the eye, though they do come with a higher price tag and require regular cleaning to keep them smudge free. Wood doors are mostly only used in residential spaces.


Electronically Locked Doors
These electronically locked doors can only be accessed by authorized personnel using a variety of access devices and the most commonly methods used are:
- Key Pads Panels – These are similar to using an ATM machine
and you just need to enter the correct pin number within the
panel to get access to the area. - Card Readers – The user needs to hold a security card, fob or
identity card up to the reader - Swipe Panels – The user needs to swipe a security card
through the slot provided. - Biometric Authentication Scanners – The user needs to either
provide a fingerprint or handprint that is verified by biometric
Typically, gaining access to any one area should only need the user to be verified when entering not exiting, if someone wanted a request to exit device they usually come in the form of a button or a motion detector system can be set up as well.
Access Control Cabling
Having quality cabling for your access control systems is nonnegotiable, as the quality of your control system will dictate how reliable and secure your system will be as a whole. A special type of cabling called access control composite cable are the safest bet to use. This type of cabling is a type of twisted cable that consists of four shielded compartments that have color-coded PVC jacket for ease of identification. The cable comes in a variety of different gauges and thicknesses to use depending on the type of data system that the access control system requires.
