COMNET FIBER UNITS TEAM UP WITH
VANDERBILT’S SPC TO LAY DOWN A MARKER
» » VANDERBILT’S SPC WAS RECENTLY
deployed to act as part of a security and
communication solution between a
toll booth and plaza located on the M1
between Dublin and Belfast.
At night time, the toll system is
automated and therefore an intruder
alarm system was needed for protection.
The distance between the toll booth and
plaza is 6.2 kilometers and the security
systems – SPC and video cameras – had
to be able to connect and operate over
that distance so operators could get an
overview of activity at each site.
SPC replaced an existing Europlex
legacy product that had the IFS fiber
drivers connected and working on
multimode fiber over the 6.2-kilometer
distance. Due to this distance, the fiber
driver was bespoke. Multimode is usually
only specified for approximately two
kilometers. However, when the 3GS legacy
system was

the communication over the fiber link
stopped working.
The installation company, Precision
Security, previously had to deploy a pair
of fiber cables – two transmitters and two
receivers – to transmit the signal back and
forth successfully. However, in updating
the site, they found that a single pair of
ComNet fiber units, straight from the box,
could successfully execute the task, despite
only being specified for 4.5 kilometers.
The ComNet FDX60 multimode fiber
units allowed the SPC X-Bus transmission
to be converted from RS485 protocols to

optical and back to RS485. This enabled
the data between the SPC expanders to
travel further distances.
The ComNet FDX60 (M,S)[-M] data
transceivers provide point-to-point
transmission of simplex or duplex EIA
RS232/RS422/RS485 (2W/4W) data
signals over one or two optical fibers.
The transceivers are transparent to data
encoding, allowing for broad-range
compatibility. Models within this series
are available for use with multimode or
single mode optical fiber.
“ComNet came straight out of the box
and was easy to use and to install. Its
threshold is only around four kilometers,
but it is working well beyond that. When
I saw the name ComNet, I was confident
that it would work, to be honest.” stated
Victor Fields of Precision Security, who
installed the fiber solution on site.
