Using CAT6 cable
The full Kisi deployment with CAT6 cable is ideal for those starting from scratch or completely replacing an existing access control system.
Benefits
- Access to full Kisi functionality without limitations or compatibility concerns
- Simplest installation type with standard Ethernet infrastructure
- Future-proof design that easily accommodates new Kisi products and features
- Straightforward component upgrades without infrastructure changes
- Maximum system performance with dedicated high-speed connections
Power supplies are required for the PoE switch and Kisi Controller Pro 2. Check the individual hardware documentation for appropriate DC power adapters.
This deployment supports all access options: mobile app unlocks (Kisi cloud verifies the credential and sends an unlock command to the controller), and reader-based unlocks including Mobile Tap, MotionSense, physical credentials, and Bluetooth (the reader sends credential data to Kisi cloud, which authorizes and commands the controller). See migration paths for a comparison across deployment methods.
