Silent Knight SK-NIC Network Interface Card for 600 Series Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACPs)

Streamline fire alarm networking and centralized monitoring with the Silent Knight SK-NIC Network Interface Card from Silent Knight by Honeywell. Designed for use with 6000 Series FACPs (including 6820 and 6820EVS), the SK-NIC enables secure multi-panel communications so security managers can monitor and control distributed sites from a single point. The plug-in card supports unshielded twisted-pair copper connections out of the box and can be expanded for fiber optic runs using SK-FML (multi-mode) or SK-FSL (single-mode) modules — allowing longer distances and enhanced immunity to electrical interference. Supporting up to 17 linked panels over ARCNET at 625K baud, the SK-NIC reduces monthly monitoring costs and simplifies operations for security, surveillance, and facilities teams. Install the SK-NIC in the FACP or in the SK-NIC-KIT cabinet for flexible deployment and retrofit scenarios. Ideal for campus, multi-building, and enterprise environments where centralized fire alarm networking improves response and reduces maintenance overhead. Order the SK-NIC to centralize your monitoring or contact sales for multi-panel configuration assistance.
