Communication Networks (ComNet) introduced 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, mag stripe or F/2F-based control panel. The ComNet FDW1000 transmits Wiegand data optically over multimode or single-mode fiber at distances up to 3.5 km or 40 km respectively. ComNet also introduced an expansion module that allows up to seven additional card readers to be integrated onto the fiber optic network. These models are designed to prevent tampering and provide safe and secure operation. Like all ComNet fiber optic products, the FDW1000 and EXP100 are designed and manufactured in the United States.
