ComNet FDW1000M/R Fiber Optic Wiegand Data Link Extender, Remote Unit

Deliver secure, long-distance access control with the ComNet FDW1000M/R Fiber Optic Wiegand Data Link Extender (Remote Unit). Designed for access control and security applications, this ComNet reader extender converts a single card reader's Wiegand, MagStripe or F/2F output onto an optical link, allowing door and gate hardware to be located far from the control panel without compromising supervision or integrity. The unit uses two multimode or singlemode optical fibers for a fully supervised, tamper-resistant connection and includes auxiliary I/O plus a relay interface for door strike or gate activation and status monitoring. Packaged in a compact, rugged aluminum housing for shelf or surface mounting, the FDW1000M/R minimizes installation time with a true plug-and-play design and DIP-switch reader format selection. Ideal for security, surveillance and monitoring deployments where distance, electromagnetic immunity, and reliable uptime matter. Add the FDW1000M/R to your access control network to extend readers across facilities with confidence—contact sales or order now to secure remote doors and gates.
