ComNet extends Wiegand distances

Communication Networks (ComNet) 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 3.5km or 40km respectively.

Communication Networks (30 ComNet) 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 3.5km or 40km respectively. The company is also introducing a unique expansion module that allows up to seven additional card readers be integrated on to the fibre-optic network. These new models are designed to prevent tampering and provide safe and secure operation.
