Fibre Optic Network Interface

Fibre Optic Network Interface

The Fibre Optic Network Interface offers the user a method of interconnecting two (2) or more networked Fire Alarm Control Panels using fibre optic cable as an alternative to copper wire.

Each Fire Alarm Control Panel will require a kit that comprises 2 modem interfaces plus cables.

  • 4 versions are available to suit your cabling scheme on site.
  • Redundant loop integrity (same as copper).
  • A network interface card is still required at each Fire Alarm Control Panel node.
  • The max distance between panels/nodes using Multimode cable is 5km.
  • The max distance between panels/nodes using Single Mode cable is 50km.
