The American Fibertek 9PXXX platform allows users to select any combination of audio, data or contact channels

American Fibertek Inc. (afi) debuted several new enhanced analogue fibre products at ISC West (booth #10072) designed to provide a range of options for the features, functions and cost of fibre transmission systems.

“Because there is no one-size-fits-all video surveillance or security system solution, installers and end users are looking for transmission systems that will match up to a particular deployment,” said Jack Fernandes, President and CEO of afi. “By providing a choice in terms of number and type of channel, size, cost and more, we’ve made selecting the right fibre solution for the right job a much less difficult task.”

The 489 Series Single Channel Bi-directional Contact Closure System offers a single contact closure on one optical fibre, the low-profile, cost-effective 489 Series consists of two transceivers that form a point-to-point communications link. This allows for simultaneously transmitting and receiving one contact channel over one or two multimode optical fibres. Diagnostic indicators that provide quick, convenient visual indication of system status make the 489 Series incredibly easy to install.

afi’s 499 Series Two Channel Bi-directional Contact Closure System provides the ability to transmit and receive two contact channels over one multimode optical fibres. Like the 489 Series, the low-profile 499 Series consists of two transceivers that form a point-to-point communications link and is easy to install, with diagnostic indicators that provide a quick visual indication of system status.

The 9P59SL Series Single Fibre Bi-directional Transceiver 1 Multi-Protocol Data and 1 Contact Enclosure provides support for multiple protocols – RS485, RS422, RS232 or Manchester. The units offer flexibility and choice of data channel for transmitting one channel on one multimode optical fibre using WDM. The 9P59SL Series provides an optical loss budget of 15 dB and requires no field adjustments and is maintenance-free.

The 9P88 Series Fibre Two Channel Bi-directional Transceiver Digital 24 Bit Audio provides two bidirectional high-quality 24-bit digital audio channels on one multimode optical fibre. The units offer state-of-the-art audio transmission capable of providing an optical loss budget of 15 dB. Adjustment-free, it requires no maintenance. The 9P88 Series diagnostic indicators provide quick visual indication of system status (audio, power and optical presence).

9P89 Series Single Fibre Bi-directional Transceiver 1 Digital 24 Bit Audio and 1 Contact Enclosure offers one digital 24-bit audio and one contact enclosure for bi-directional transmission of high-quality audio and contact closure channels. The 9P89 Series provides a 15 dB optical loss budget and the system is easy to install, with no adjustment necessary and with no required ongoing maintenance.

afi’s 9PXXX Platform Single Fibre Three Channel Bi-directional Transceiver Digital 24 Bit Audio or Multi-Protocol Data or Contact Closure is capable of transmitting up to three channels on one multimode optical fibre, the American Fibertek 9PXXX platform allows users to select any combination of audio, data or contact channels. The 9PXXX platform provides an optical loss budget of 21 dB and requires no field adjustments at installation or additional maintenance afterward.
