Keyscan WIEEX2 Wiegand Communications Line Extender

Extend reliable Wiegand reader communications past standard limits to support remote access points and long cable runs. The Keyscan by dormakaba WIEEX2 Wiegand Communications Line Extender is a reader extender designed for access control and security professionals who need dependable, low-voltage signal transmission over long distances. By converting Wiegand to standard RS485 and back, the WIEEX2 delivers up to 2000 ft between transmitter and receiver over CAT5 and can reach up to 4000 ft on 2-wire RS485 runs, reducing installation complexity and cabling costs. The two-module kit includes a reader-side unit and an ACU-side unit for fast, plug-and-play deployment. Because the WIEEX2 presents a standard RS485 interface, it also supports RS485-to-fiber or other media converters when electrical isolation or extended runs are required—ideal for perimeter gates, remote buildings, parking facilities, and campus security networks. Improve the reliability of your access control, security monitoring, and surveillance systems with a cost-effective line extender engineered for compatibility and long-distance performance. Add the WIEEX2 to your next access control design or contact us for integration support.
