The DC10 Single-Door Controller is suited for applications that need to secure only a single door, such as offices, retail storefronts, small gyms or warehouse doors far away from any other exit or entrance.

Built on feedback from customers and partners, Rhombus says the new DC10 single-door controller gives you more flexibility to match hardware to each site and keep project costs in line with what the job requires. 

The DC10 connects a single door to the Rhombus Access Control and Security Platform.

It also works as a hub for Rhombus Smart Sensors and Panic Buttons.

It pairs enterprise-grade scalability with a compact design built for the tightest spaces, so you get full cloud-based access control without the complexity, Rhombus adds. 

Built for tight spaces 

The DC10 is purpose-built for single-door installs, so you only pay for the capacity you need.

Its compact, discreet design fits where larger controllers can’t and can be mounted on a wall or ceiling, or in plenum spaces above air handling areas in drop ceilings due to its UL 2043 rating.

Additionally, the DC10 has an IK08 impact rating, so it can hold up to knocks in tight, high-traffic areas. 

The open-bottom cable access lets wiring route over the controller and tuck neatly under retention tabs.

With 90 W PoE++, a single cable delivers full power and connectivity, with the ability to pass both through to a nearby camera too. 

The DC10 also has built-in BLE connectivity which lets it act as a hub for Rhombus environmental sensors, door and window intrusion sensors, motion sensors, panic buttons and other select sensors within 100m line-of-sight, so you don’t need a separate hub.

Reliable cloud management 

With both Ethernet and WiFi connectivity, the DC10 connects to the Rhombus cloud and keeps operating during network outages.

You can manage doors from your phone or computer wherever you are, with no on-site server required.

Lockdown support lets you secure entrances instantly from anywhere in the world. 

The DC10 plugs into the same Rhombus Platform that manages cameras, sensors and other access control hardware.

It supports up to two readers, including Rhombus Readers and third-party certified (Wiegand or RS-485/OSDP), so it fits into existing deployments.

It also includes one dry AUX relay for devices like low-voltage sounders, strobes or external alarm panels. 

Because the DC10 and DC20 run on the same platform, you can mix them across a site.
