ComNet Europe is introducing a fibre-optic distance extending interface that allows optical connectivity between one card reader and its associated door or gate locking hardware, and any Wiegand, magstripe, or F/2F-based control panel.
The ComNet FDW1000 transmits Wiegand data optically over multimode or single-mode fibre at distances up to 3,5 km or 40 km respectively. ComNet is also introducing an expansion module that allows up to seven additional card readers be integrated on to the fibre-optic network. These new ComNet models are designed to prevent tampering and provide safe and secure operation.
According to Steve Clarke, ComNet Europe MD, “Wiegand data interfaces are extremely popular for access control applications. Using fibre-optic transmission to extend the distance between the gate/door access control reader and Wiegand, Magstripe, or F/2F-based control panel is a cost-effective solution. This application might be considered a niche market, but as the ComNet product line expands, we are able to develop solutions for these niche applications.”
