ComNet EXP101/R EXP101 Series Expansion Module, Remote Side for FDW1000

Extend card readers to remote doors and gates without rewiring the entire site. The ComNet EXP101/R expansion module (remote) is a reader extender designed to work with the FDW1000 series, letting you share a single fiber optic link among up to seven additional readers. That capability reduces installation time and conduit costs while keeping access control and surveillance equipment centralized for easier monitoring.

This EXP101/R supports common access control interfaces — Wiegand (up to 248 bits) and strobed clock/data — and transparently passes relay inputs/outputs to enable remote door and gate control. With DC 8–12 V operation and power consumption under 6 W, the unit is optimized for low-voltage deployments and minimal operational cost. Status LEDs provide quick diagnostics on-site so technicians can resolve issues faster.

Ideal for parking facilities, gated entrances, campuses, and dispersed perimeter access points, the ComNet EXP101/R improves system reliability and simplifies integration with existing access control panels. Contact your supplier to discuss deployment options or to order units for your next security or monitoring project.

• Extend up to seven additional card readers over a single FDW1000 fiber link to centralize access control and reduce field wiring.
• Deploy readers at long distances with secure fiber optic connectivity for improved surveillance and remote monitoring reliability.
• Preserve access data and control signals: supports Wiegand (up to 248 bits) and strobed formats while mirroring relay status for remote door/gate operation.
• Low-voltage operation (DC 8–12 V) with <6 W power draw and status LEDs reduce installation complexity and speed troubleshooting.
• Plug-and-play compatibility with ComNet FDW1000 central units accelerates installation across multi-door and gated applications.
