- Uses tested IFS networking components
- Supports monitored installations when used with managed networking equipment
- Industrial metal enclosure suitable for DIN rail or wall mounting
- Wide operating temperature range for security and access-control network installations
Professional Installation Requirements
- Installation should be performed by a qualified security or communications technician. Fibre termination, optical testing, RS485 network configuration and connection to security equipment should follow applicable cabling and manufacturer requirements.
Applications
- Extending Tecom Challenger RS485 LANs between buildings or security network cabinets
- Alarm system networking over long fibre runs
- Access-control network interconnection
- Commercial and industrial security installations
- Single mode fibre links where electrical isolation and long-distance transmission are required
Standards & Compliance
- AS/NZS CISPR 22:2006 is stated in the Tecom fibre-kit technical documentation for the supplied SFP module. ([aritech.com.au](https://aritech.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Tecom_Fiber_kits_DS_FEB2026.pdf?utm_source=openai))
- AS/NZS 2967:2014 provides safety and installation guidance for optical fibre communication cabling systems and associated equipment. ([normsplash.com](https://www.normsplash.com/Samples/AS/116523138/AS-NZS-2967-2014-en.pdf))
Environmental Benefits
- Optical fibre provides long-distance data transmission without copper signal conductors in the communications path
- Fibre links are immune to electromagnetic interference, which can reduce the need for additional shielding or replacement caused by interference-related faults
- Durable industrial components and a wide operating temperature range can extend service life and reduce replacement waste
- The media converter supports redundant power inputs, which can help improve system availability and reduce premature equipment replacement
