The ComNet FDW1000 by Communication Networks (ComNet) of Danbury, Conn., is a fiber 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 product transmits Wiegand data optically over multimode or single-mode fiber at distances up to 3.5km or 40km respectively. To accompany the product, the firm has released an expansion module that allows up to seven additional card readers be integrated on to the fiber optic network.
