Overview
Deliver reliable, long-distance RS485 connectivity for security and surveillance systems with the Honeywell Commercial Security FC485 fiber transceiver media converter. Designed for CCTV, access control, alarm panels and remote monitoring, this media converter converts RS485 to 2-strand 62.5 µm multimode fiber to span up to 1 mile (~1600 m), eliminating costly copper runs and electrical interference. Auto-baud support (300 to 115.2K) provides true plug-and-play operation so technicians can deploy faster without adding resistors or complex jumper configurations. For robust field performance the FC485 includes jumpers for 120 ohm bias and line termination to ensure stable, noise-resistant serial links. Its compact footprint and single-port design simplify mounting in racks, enclosures or equipment cabinets for security networking and integrated monitoring applications. Choose the FC485 to extend and protect RS485 control and data lines across campus, multi-building or harsh-environment installations. Contact your Honeywell Commercial Security supplier to order the FC485 and streamline your next surveillance or monitoring deployment.
