Communication Networks (30 ComNet) has launched what it claims is a revolutionary new fibre-optic video product line that can seamlessly restore a CCTV network. The ComNet SHR line consists of the FVTFVR1010SHR single channel with data series, the FVT/FVR4014SHR series four video channels with four data channels and FVT/FVR8018SHR series eight video channels with eight data channels. All models are digital fibre-optic video transmitters and receivers with bi-directional data that incorporate what the company says is a unique self-healing feature. In the event of a broken fibre connection, the video and data transmission is seamlessly re-routed when the system is configured in a ring topology. ComNet says this feature, combined with the products' exceptional reliability, ensure a virtually failsafe CCTV network.

Other key features provided by the SHR line include: full-motion 30fps true broadcast-quality video and serial data with no latency; video/data that can be accessed anywhere the user requires monitoring; and multiple management centres to access and control video and data control function.

ComNet says the SHR line also provides a cost-effective alternative to traditional Ethernet video/data networks, offering far simpler system integration and reduced installation and lifecycle costs. Moreover, IP network functionality can be achieved by inserting video and data on to an Ethernet network using a readily available codec.

    Port configured self-managed switch
    Communication Networks (ComNet) is introducing a four-port self-managed Ethernet switch. It has four TX Ethernet ports that allow the Ethernet data from three of the TX ports to be combined and inserted onto the network through the fourth TX port. The self-management feature requires no user intervention and is pre-programmed to avoid flooding the network. ComNet says the CNFE4SMS offers management without the cost or user knowledge required for a managed switch. The device is pre-programmed and meets the I
